Jakarta- Indonesian electronics company PT Agis Tbk, IPTV and mobile TV systems integrator Broadband Network Systems, Ltd. (BNS) and DMB technology provider Toshiba will build a broadcast-based, nationwide mobile TV network in Indonesia, scheduled for launch in early 2008. Operated by Agis, it will be the first DMB-based mobile TV service outside of Japan and Korea, and is expected to cover Indonesia’s 200 regions with a single frequency to allow subscribers to watch the same mobile TV programmes nationwide. Toshiba will supply major head-end and transmission equipment, management software, and provide technical and operating expertise. Agis will import and distribute new mobile handsets and devices throughout Indonesia, and is in discussions with potential partners including mobile operators and content owners. Anna Maria, Senior Officer at Agis, believes Indonesia’s youthful population in addition to low but fast growing mobile penetration makes it a suitable market for a broadcast-based mobile TV service.
