Qualcomm and Hong Kong operator PCCW have signed a definitive agreement to conduct a technical trial of Qualcomm’s MediaFLO technology in
Hong Kong. The technical trial period runs from May 14 to November 13, 2007 and is for testing purposes only. The technical trial is intended to test the performance capabilities of MediaFLO handsets for PCCW's now TV network and to allow PCCW to assess the potential business model of a commercial mobile television service based on MediaFLO - an open, mobile broadcasting technology - if such a service were to be launched in
Hong Kong. The agreement was signed with PCCW-HKT Telephone Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCCW Limited. PCCW launched its highly successful now TV in September 2003. now TV is the world's largest IPTV deployment with an installed customer base of more than 800,000 in
Hong Kong, and it delivers more than 130 channels of world-class content.
