Mobile TV - TV on a small screen

There is a lot of hype now about mobile TV since the availability of 3G services here in Malaysia. Media Prima Berhad has launched its on demand 3G Mobile TV Services on Maxis network. Subscribers can now watch selected highlights of their favourite TV programs of TV3, NTV7, 8TV and TV9 on their 3G mobile phones. In order to use the service, Maxis 3G users have to make a video call to a premium number and navigate by following the interactive menu to subscribe.

The video clips will be updated every week and the 3G service will include exclusive recap of previous episodes, bloopers and previews of upcoming episodes.
