Versions of BBC 1, ITV1 and E4 will be available on
the BT Movio Service running on Virgin's new Lobster phone from October
1st. The channels will be the same as the terrestrial TV
versions, but without some films, US TV programmes and sports.
People
paying more than £25 a month will get the handset and access to the TV
service for free - it will otherwise cost £199 for the handset and £5 a
month. You will also need a TV license. Most interestingly the service
will ignore the 3G network, and instead broadcast via Digital
Radio.
