Bharti Airtel to launch Digital TV services on mobile phones

Date: 24-03-2014

Bharti Airtel is planning to launch Digital TV services on mobile phones. With this, the company will offer consumers live content from over 150 channels on the go, which could significantly push up data consumption on its networks and consequently data revenue.

In this regard, the company is likely to launch a free app -- Pocket TV -- on Google Play next week, and a month later, on App Store (for iOS platform), which will give access to the service. The customers will be able to watch unlimited television on the go but will have to pay additional charges for data consumed through the mobile phone.

Bharti Airtel is a leading integrated telecommunications company with operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa. The company ranks amongst the top 5 mobile service providers globally in terms of subscribers.
