BT Movio formerly known as BT Livetime have demonstrated clear consumer demand for broadcast digital TV and radio to mobile phones when the service becomes available in the UK later this year.
The pilot the largest of its kind undertaken in Europe revealed that two thirds of customers would be prepared to pay up to £8/month for the innovative BT Movio service on their current mobile network, creating new revenue streams for mobile operators.
Set for commercial launch later this year, BT Movio intends to be the first wholesale mobile broadcast entertainment service to launch in the UK and will enable operators to offer consumers a simple to use and reliable digital TV and radio service. The service is broadcast using the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) network and is navigated through the world’s first implementation of DAB delivered electronic programme guide (EPG) on a mobile TV phone. Unlike other mobile TV services, BT Movio’s use of a broadcast platform allows multiple users to access services at the same time without a reduction in quality.

Presumably we'll need a TV licence to cover it, unless it'll be covered under your current home tv licence, as portables are.

If you have a TV Licence at home then you are covered.
Although you dont need a TV licence to receive DAB which this system uses.
