Telegent Systems, the company that makes television mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV solutions, together with Telefónica Móviles Perú, today announced that Telefónica has included the ZTE i766, a handset with a live TV feature enabled by Telegent, in its handset lineup. The handset, branded with Telefónica’s Movistar logo, is available in all Telefónica retail outlets for 499 soles in prepaid mode.
Telefónica Perú is one of several operators in Latin America, including Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, that are leading the way in offering TV handsets with live analog broadcast TV to consumers. “The live TV feature differentiates our product offering and gives consumers what they want – access to their favorite programs while they are on the move,” said Gustavo Kitazono, director of strategic planning of Telefónica Móviles Perú. “The video and audio quality of Telegent’s TV feature is excellent, and consumer interest in the TV feature has been quite high.”
What we think?
This is good news for Telegent and Mobile TV platform providers because it shows a continuing interest in Live TV features globally. The only hiccup is the lack of TV ready devices but the ZTE is a good start.
