Iran tests DVB-H with SIDSA, Sagem phones starting in Tehran

Iran is testing mobile television with the DVB-H protocol with the Madrid-based digital video platform company SIDSA, according to an item on TMCnet.com.

The country’s national broadcasting company, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), is spearheading the tests that are beginning in Tehran but will eventually cover the entire country, the article says. Iran plans to transmit 16 channels from Intelsat and Eutelsat to DVB-H cellular phones from Sagem.

“The channels are IRIB1 PER, IRIB 2 PER, IRINN, AL-Alam, IRIB, IRIB Quran and Press TV, from Eutelsat (Hot Bird), and IRIB TV1, IRIB TV 2, IRIB TV3, IRIB TV4, IRIB TV 5, IRIB 3, IRIB Amouzesh TV, Azarbayejan TV, Fars TV and Khalij Fars TV from Intelsat satellites,” TMCnet.com says.

The article notes that SIDSA also has provided equipment for mobile TV in Russia and tests in Seville.

What I'm Reading

Charles Stross: Accelerando
Spectacular. Near-singularity and during-singularity Earth (and beyond). Was waiting for a novel like this. Sort of a fictional companion to "The Singularity is Near."
Julian Barnes: Arthur and George
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and an English vicar in a detective novel based on real events. Interesting.
Umberto Eco: Foucault's Pendulum
Started this several times but will finish it now. Excellent so far.
Mark Z. Danielewski: House of Leaves
Very strange story-within-a-story. I like it so far, but it's definitely not for readers of conventional story lines.
China Mieville: Iron Council
China Mieville writes some of the most amazing fantasy I've ever read. This is spectacular stuff. He also has an amazing vocabulary, and I'm often looking up words; it's ripe for reading on the Kindle because of the dictionary feature, but I'm waiting at least for v2.0.
Richard K. Morgan: Market Forces
The near future, where corporations rule the world and knock off executives in automobile death matches. I prefer Morgan's other more science fictionish novels.
Mizuko Ito, Daisuke Okabe, Misa Matsuda: Personal, Portable, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life
Adam Felber: Schrodinger's Ball: A Novel
Fun and quirky. Any novel that incorporates a dead physicist and a dead/non-dead character -- both of whom wander around as part of the plot -- peaks my interest.
William Faulkner: The Sound and the Fury
Bought this more than 30 years ago and finally reading it. Don't think I like it, classic or not.
