BONN, Germany-T-Mobile Deutschland Friday became the first German operator to offer television on mobile phones through an agreement with n-tv news channel signed earlier this year.
The news channel programs can be transmitted onto mobile handsets via T-Mobile’s GPRS network as a live stream. Customers must have streaming-enabled devices with Real Player installed on the devices.
Users will be charged only for the cost of GPRS data transmission, the operator said.
T-Mobile Deutschland also announced an agreement with Kodak that will allow multimedia messaging service photos and digital pictures to be developed on photographic paper or printed on various items, such as coffee cups and mouse pads. The service, which follows a successful test phase, is now included in T-Mobile’s t-zones wireless Internet service.
