While the technology is there, and it can be adopted, but in a device, you require a certain chip or attachment..
To see how that adoption takes place, pilots will be required, Apurva Chandra, secretary, ministry of information & broadcasting, said.Agencies..
The government will soon start a pilot in 19 cities to test direct-to-mobile (D2M) technology that enables content or live TV to be broadcast on mobile devices without an active internet connection..
The government, though, acknowledged there are challenges around D2M technology, like availability of devices supporting it and how much content is being consumed through it...
On whether D2M technology implementation should be made mandatory for smartphone makers, he said there is no question of such a mandate as the technology is still being piloted, and subsequently too, no mandate would be there..
