BARCELONA

Virgin Mobile became the first European cellular network to launch a live digital TV broadcast service on mobile phones.

The mobile operator, part of British entrepreneur Richard Branson's Virgin empire, will begin selling handsets equipped to receive the BT Group PLC's BT Movio digital television and radio services later this year, both companies said. The handset will offer one-click access to the digital TV and radio tuner.

'It's not downloaded,' said Graeme Hutchinson, sales and marketing director at Virgin Mobile. 'It's real TV just like you get at home.'"
