While launching three new handsets, Nokia's senior management team said many developed countries have implemented policy allowing live television on mobile phone and hoped that India would also follow the same.
"India is one of the fastest growing nations and a largest telecom market. We are excited to offer three very exciting mini-computers for consumers' pockets," said M Montanaro, Vice-President, Multimedia, Asia Pacific.
Two new devices would be available in India and other Asia Pacific markets in the first quarter of 2006 while third handset N92 would be made available in countries where digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) is allowed in mid-2006.
Asked whether Indian service providers were ready to offer DVB-H to their consumers, Montanaro said "we are keeping a close look at the Indian market... offering DVB-H needs regulatory clearances."
