Dutch network KPN has introduced a Mobile TV service. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) have joined forces to enable the service, which offers KPN customers across the Netherlands a choice of 10 television channels, including Nederland 1, Nederland 3, MTV Music, Discovery Channel and Nick Toons.
The MobielTV service is delivered through a broadcast network based on the Digital Video Broadcast for Handheld (DVB-H), the European standard for mobile television, and can be watched on DVB-H-enabled mobile devices.
Nokia and NSN provided KPN with a turnkey head-end solution based on open standards to launch the broadcasts. This includes the Mobile Broadcast Solution, plus a broad range of supporting services such as consulting, platform integration, project management, support services and turnkey implementation.
We are glad to be among the first to launch mobile television broadcasts in Europe, says KPN Broadcast Services Director, Bart van Ierschot. This timely launch has been possible thanks to our choice of partners Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks, who are market leaders in providing open standard DVB-H service  platforms.
In March, the European Commission added DVB-H to the EU List of Standards, which serves as a basis for encouraging harmonized provision of telecommunications services across Europe. The move helps establish a single market for Mobile TV in the EU enabling all citizens to watch TV on the move. 
The solutions offered by Nokia and NSN are based on the open DVB-H standards. They allow short implementation time as well as end-to-end capability, combining the equipment, services and devices to create a unique solution for mobile TV service providers.
NSN leads the world in the number of commercial launches for DVB-H Mobile TV broadcasting, with deployments in Finland, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and, most recently, Switzerland.
