Dubai: The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) on Tuesday said it will start consultation process on the licensing of the broadcast of mobile television in the UAE.
Currently a similar type of service is available through 3G streaming.
However, this new mobile TV service is provided through a different technology and will enable the public to enjoy a wider selection of channels at better quality.
The TRA has carried out a detailed study of the licensing criteria and procedures to be followed to enable the success of the service in the UAE. The consultation process is scheduled to start on Wednesday.
Interested parties are invited to submit their comments to the TRA.
