Virgin’s new service, dubbed the Trilogy, will be delivered on BT’s Movio platform. The DAB-IP enabled Smartphone was developed through a collaboration with Microsoft and HTC.
BT says “The new service is a true broadcast rather than a one-to-many unicast. With this service you will be able to watch EastEnders as it is shown at 8 pm rather than suffering congestion for a popular broadcast or a download delay.”
Virgin Mobile will offer the broadcast service on a limited exclusive basis to its customers later this year giving its customers access to a wide range of digital TV content and more than 350 DAB digital radio stations nationwide broadcasting twenty-four hours a day.
Virgin is currently the subject of a £920 million potential offer by cable group NTL.
