TWICE - Showgoers See Triple At Wireless 2005

TWICE - Showgoers See Triple At Wireless 2005:
"New services on display included a streaming stereo-music service from Mobzilla of La Jolla, Calif., and DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld), a technology that optimizes existing TV programming for transmission to handheld devices, including future cellphones. To demonstrate the service, Nokia teamed up with Pittsburgh-based Crown Castle, which is upgrading its national network of communications towers to broadcast DVB-H programs over the nationwide 1,700 MHz spectrum that it owns. Technical trials underway in Pittsburgh will be expanded this year to other markets. Siemens simulated a DVB-H demo. Nokia said it expects to offer DVB-H handsets in late 2005 or early 2006 for sale to carriers."
