The state owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) plans to introduce video streaming for its 3G subscribers in Orissa.
The company has started the testing for rolling out this value added service (VAS), the tariff for which is being finalized, sources said.
Video streaming would be available on 3G platform and the subscribers can access different live television channels by making a video call.
A customer would be able to view DD (national), DD (Oriya) and B4U initially. The basket is proposed to be expanded with the inclusion of channels like OTV, ETV (Oriya) and Kamayab channels among others. However, the final decision on inclusion of new channels hasn’t been taken yet, sources added.
