PT MECA, SCTV and Nokia Cooperate to Pilot Broadcast Mobile TV Over DVB-H Technology in Indonesia by 2H2006

Bringing Living Room Entertainment Into the Hands of Consumers

3GSM World Congress 2006, BARCELONA, Spain and ESPOO, Finland, February 13/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global mobility player Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and EMTEK (Elang Mahkota
Teknologi) Group, an emerging player in Indonesia's fast-growing TMT
(Telecommunication, Media, and Technology) sector through its subsidiaries PT
Mediatama Citra Abadi (PT MECA) and PT Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV) today
announced a cooperation to conduct a Mobile TV consumer pilot in Indonesia by
the second half of 2006.

PT MECA is the main aggregator of the audio-visual content offering and
the broadcast platform operator, while SCTV is the broadcast content
provider, and Nokia will supply the Mobile Broadcast Solution as well as the
Nokia N92 DVB-H enabled devices for the consumer pilot.

Scheduled to start from the second half of 2006 for six months, the pilot
will enable the parties involved to accurately assess the viability of Mobile
TV service in Indonesia. It will test the reception quality of the broadcast
coverage, as well as explore the options of supporting different service
schemes (advertising, subscription-based, and interactive services); and most
importantly to gauge consumer expectations of the service going forward - all
essential considerations towards bringing the service commercial in the
future.

The pilot will use Digital Video Broadcast - Handheld (DVB-H) technology,
a robust broadcast technology now used to support several extensive field
trials globally. DVB-H technology is chosen based on its merit to support
mobility, small screens, indoor coverage, optimized use of battery and
in-built antenna that are specific to handheld devices such as mobile phones.

With this announcement, Indonesia becomes one of the leading countries in
Asia to deploy Mobile TV - bringing the Indonesian consumers a step closer to
watching their favorite TV programs on their mobile devices.

"We are excited and looking forward to leverage our technological
know-how and content expertise, together with Nokia's leading edge mobile
technology in setting a new trend for Indonesian consumers' TV viewing
experience. This cooperation will serve as an important milestone in
fulfilling EMTEK Group's vision in the multimedia domain. Equally important,
we believe that this service will encapsulate other social merits by
contributing to the educational development of the nation," said Eddy
Sariaatmadja, Chairman of EMTEK Group.

"The business environment today is becoming more complex and competitive.
The formula towards staying ahead lies in the ability of a company to
identify and offer unique experiences to the larger audiences. Mobile TV
offers that unique consumer experience based on its element of newness and
untapped potential in the market. MECA is positive about the service
potential and is glad to take the leading position in fronting Mobile TV in
Indonesia," added Ery Hartanto, Director of MECA.

"Today, PT MECA and SCTV put Indonesia on the global map with DVB-H. The
imminent possibility of watching live television on your mobile device
heralds the future of convergence between broadcast and mobile services. It
will help pave the way forward with myriad opportunities that exist for
broadcasters and mobile operators in the Mobile TV ecosystem in Indonesia. We
are very excited to be part of this initial consumer pilot and eventually to
bring Mobile TV to the dynamic Indonesian market," said Jawahar Kanjilal,
Director, Multimedia Experiences, Nokia Asia Pacific.

In the Asia Pacific last year, Nokia spearheaded several Mobile TV
showcases such as in Singapore (with Mediacorp & M1) and Malaysia (Astro &
Maxis), as well as participated in industry-wide events showcasing simulcast
Mobile TV content with players in the media and entertainment industry. Nokia
is also in the midst of a 12-month DVB-H trial started last July with the
Bridge Networks & Telstra in Australia for consumers based in Sydney.

DVB-H has been adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute (ETSI) as the Mobile Broadcasting Technology standard and many
other regions of the world are expected to follow suit once their own trials
are concluded.

In January 2006, Nokia, along with leading wireless and entertainment
companies in the United States, formed the Mobile DTV Alliance - a new
organization created to promote the growth and evolution of Digital Video
Broadcasting - Handheld (DVB-H), which is an open standard for broadcast
digital TV reception on mobile devices.

What is Mobile TV Broadcasting?

Mobile TV Broadcasting allows the user to watch their favorite TV
programs such as dramas, news, music, sports and documentaries on their
mobile device. The service works by receiving a digital TV broadcast signal
optimized for mobile devices from the air in much the same way as televisions
at home do. Channel guides will also be broadcast allowing users to keep
abreast of the latest programs on air. Broadcast Mobile TV is not the same as
a streaming video service over 3G or GPRS where each recipient gets a
separate copy of the program stream. Rather, one simultaneous TV stream can
be received at any time by any number of users enjoying high picture quality
and low battery power consumption.
