According to plan broadcasting of the four MI-FRIENDS-programs was stopped on july, 31, 2008. Within nearly two years intensive tests were made showing the development of content for mobile broadcasting as well as economic and technical questions. The results of the project will be published at the end of 2008 in the "BLM-Schriftenreihe".

Larger program offer in Regensburg

The program offer of the European Mobile Media Project MI FRIENDS in Regensburg has been enlarged. Since the beginning of June three video channels with a new program structure and a visual radio-channel were broadcasted. Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is a technology based on the digital radio standard DAB and enables the broadcast of radio, television or hybrid forms on mobile devices, especially mobile phones. The programs can be received in Greater Regensburg on band III, channel 12A.

Start of the accompanying research in Regensburg

The accompanying research started in the middle of June with about 100 participants. Possible business models should be derived amongst others by its results. Regensburg’s medium size of 130.000 citizens in the city itself plus 170.000 on the outskirts, as well as its demographic and socio-economic constitution correspond with a typical European regional city. Therefore the results of the research can statistically be equally applied to other European cities and regions as well.
