China Mobile to Launch CMMB Service in February
The Beijing News, 1/29/10
At a press conference held yesterday by the China Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), China's national operator of CMMB mobile TV, CBC general manager Sun Chaohui revealed that CBC and China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) will officially launch mobile phone TV service in early February.
Editor's Note: CBC and China Mobile signed an agreement to cooperate by promoting CMMB service on TD-SCDMA handsets in May of last year. Although CMMB-enabled TD-SCDMA handsets began to hit the market in the last quarter of 2009, China Mobile had not previously announced an official date to launch or promote the service. For more background on the cooperation, please see "China Mobile Becomes Exclusive CMMB Partner," MD 5/22/09 issue.
