Still can't sleep because of Manchester United's well deserved victory in Moscow. Men, what performance this season!
I am still trying to get drunk on bottled water to enable me sleep.

@Brym: So u're one of those Man'U fans? I would've loved to see Chelsea win, they were more determined and played an overall better game. Avram Grant made substitution errors that cost Chelsea the game.
No.... I'm not a Chelsea fan!
Does anyone know or has used Visafone voice or data service? could you please review their service here. Compared to Starcomms, how would you rate them?

amby! you sure say you watch dat match? ...anyway dat na subject for another day.
@all: I was at MTN's friendship centre today to enquire about their mobile TV service.
Here's the gist.
1. As you are aware it operates on 3G, so coverage is a factor to consider.
2. 10 channels offered
3. Service is currently received on configured ZTE f912 mobile TV phones.
4. Tv Phone can only be acquired from MTN for N43,500.
5. Service is free for now until billing is introduced...N1,500 monthly.
6.Claims battery life of TV phone is 8 hours, no spare battery included neither do they have to sell.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see a demo because the demo Tv phone was being charged.
More details about phone specs here:

For now I think the mobile TV thing is for people with more money than sense. The handset is useless for most other things other than the TV. At 43,000 it is way too expensive. Are there people who moves around so frequently and so jobless to waste time on mobile TV?
And I dont think, the handset uses 3G for reception. Non 3G handset with DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld) can receive the signal. Though, the signal is currently encrypted for the ZTE hadset only.

Plus the fact that the signal is encrypted so it works with only the ZTE phone that MTN alone sells. Subscribers cannot get any of the DVB-H phones on the market to use with the service.
Madness has no more apt a depiction than this. When MTN is ready to offer mobile TV, they know what to do. Till then... duh!

I really hope this mobile tv scheme is a faliure. With any luck they would have spent some money on it with little return. Why would they encrypt their signal so it can only be received on a useless phone? Lets see if glo and hi-tv have an answer.

Believe it or not, but I have received calls from at least five of my friends who consider me a "know-all" especially with mobile phones regarding the ZTE mobile TV. But trust me, I discouraged all of them, using incomplete 3G coverage as my excuse.
@Namzo: whats starcomms i-Zap?
