Zambia Telecommunications Company (ZAMTEL) has partnered with the public-owned Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) and the private Muvi television to offer mobile television to view live streaming TV content .
Zamtel said the mobile TV service allows its subscribers to watch ZNBC and MUVI TV programmes such as news, sports, documentaries and movies, live in real time, using the convenience of their mobile handsets.
Zamtel, however, said its subscribers will need to have an Android mobile handset that supports 3G and an internet browser or a video player that supports Real Time Streaming Protocol (RSTP).
Zamtel chief marketing officer, Evans Muhanga, who on Wednesday announced the launch of the mobile TV streaming, said the Zamtel Mobile TV was available to Zamtel pre-paid subscribers and would soon be available to post-paid customers and that the live TV streaming service will be charged at a rate of K300 per minute (1US dollar=K5,000).
