Nokia will begin global sales of its new N92 model - a phone that receives television broadcasts - in Vietnam and Indonesia in coming weeks.
The market could potentially be a huge one. Research firm Informa expects that more than 50 million DVB-H (digital video broadcast - handheld) phones could be sold by industry players by 2010, writes CNET News.
Nokia announced the phone over the summer and had expected to begin selling it then, but it had to wait for the first commercial launches of the networks.
Vietnam Multimedia said it plans to offer eight TV channels and four radio channels. One of the television channels will include a TV-on-demand service.
DVB-H is an agreed-upon standard for mobile television, according to the article. However, the way content is protected against piracy can differ between DVB-H networks. Italy, for example, was the first country to open a DVB-H network, but it uses different content protection technology than Nokia.
