Briefs: Wireless TV news channel launches in India
An English-language news television station was launched on wireless telephones in India Monday.
Reliance Infocomm's India subsidiary began streaming 24-hour news through that can be viewed on its Nokia cell phones.
The channel, called Times Now, gives Reliance a potentially lucrative value-added service as it jostles for position in India's booming wireless market.
The channel will go live on cable television in a few days.
Analysts told Red Herring that the quality of the service could be a question mark since India is still developing its third-generation (3G) mobile network. At the same time, Times Now has the potential to become a highly desirable add-on for customers whiling away their time.
