TU Media launches first satellite TV service for cellphones

TU Media DMB launch


As usual it's the sort of thing that if we're lucky we might see over here within a few years (but probably won't), but a South Korean company called TU Media fired up the first satellite DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting) service for cellphones today, offering subscribers seven channels of video and 20 channels of audio for about $13 a month. So far the service is only compatible with two handsets—Samsung's SCH-B100 and Pantech's IBM-1000—but more are on the way. Our big question: how badly does watching satellite TV kill the battery on your phone?
