Delhi, New Delhi, India, 04/03/2007 – Mobile TV is certain to gain popularity but compatibility issues need to be addresses by using a single chip on handheld devices.

Still under trial phase in several countries before the launch on commercial scale, Doordarshan, the State Broadcaster, has lead the technology’s testing in India and carried out the trials successfully, informed officials from Prasar Bharti. Actually, the DD TV on mobile was intended to be launched from January 26, 2007 but the plan was shelved, informed officials.
