December 15th 2007 06:02
China has granted a 400 million yuan (A$63 million) government fund to develop mobile phone TV technology in the next three years, said the Ministry of Science and Technology, according to the Shanghai Daily.
Chinese firms are developing home grown mobile TV standards so that they do not need to pay high royalty fees to Western firms if people use their standards instead.
"The fund is to finance the development from system research to end-equipment design and test process. That will help China establish a self-innovated mobile TV industry chain," the statement said.
China's mobile multimedia broadcasting, backed by State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has grown rapidly in China.
