Direct-to-mobile (D2M) technology may be introduced in India in 2025. According to media sources, India will launch D2M technology in 19 cities in 2025. As we know, D2M will allow multimedia content to be transmitted to smartphones without the need for an active internet connection.
The government wants to use D2M to provide digital streaming i.e. live TV on smartphones to a large section of the population that is still using 3G services. In areas such as education, D2M technology is expected to provide quality video content to rural populations without burdening the already stretched spectrum. Although earlier the government had tried to do this by launching DVB-T2 i.e. Terrestrial Service in digital form, but that plan did not work because the device related to it was not available in the market. TV manufacturers are still providing analog tuners only, whereas if they started providing digital tuners, mobile and TV broadcasting facilities could be provided through DVB-T2.
But now the government has decided to stop DVB-T2 service and start mobile broadcasting through D2M service. Which may be started on 56MHz spectrum (472-526 MHz).
However, its coverage will be much wider than DVB-T2.
