Live content soon on ₹2,000 phones with no data pack as D2M tech paves way
New Delhi: Be it live sports or Bollywood movies or even web series on OTT platforms, mobile phone users in India, including the more than 200 million feature phone owners, may finally get to view them on their handsets without even having an active internet connection.
To start with, phone makers Lava and HMD have manufactured devices in the ₹2,000-2,500 price range for accessing direct-to-mobile (D2M) broadcasting technology, based on chipsets developed by Tata Group-owned Saankhya Labs. Initially, mostly content from public broadcaster Prasar Bharti will be streamed on these devices.
