Subscribers of the MTNL (Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited) 'Unlimited Plan' and of MTNL GPRS-enabled handsets -- who're based in the capital -- will now be able to watch live television on their handsets.

The reason: the state-run behemoth has announced the soft launch of its mobile TV service in Delhi.

Initially, MTNL customers will be able to watch seven TV channels on their GPRS-enabled mobile handsets till the commercial launch of the service, which is slated for April this year.

Five of the seven TV channels are free channels; users will have to pay a minimum of Rs 50 per month to access these on their mobile handsets. As regards the remaining 'paid' TV channels, customers will have to pay the necessary amount per channel.

MTNL Executive Director, A K Arora, said out of the 15 lakh-odd MTNL users in Delhi, nearly 25,000 have GPRS-enabled mobile phones.

For customers to be able to watch live TV on their mobile handsets, the handsets must be GPRS-enabled; supported by Symbian operating system (OS); having a minimum phone memory of 2MB; along with Real Player application.
