The N96 will come with DVB-H TV.

Is this broadcasted over the air like normal TV, or only accessable
through the internet, IE, you need to buy a data package?

All the best.

It *could* be broadcast, if e.g the mobile operators purchased the UHF
channels to be emptied and sold-off once analogue TV is switched off,
alternatively it can operate on VHF frequencies (some of) which are
currently used by DAB, or on L band.

In most areas that doesn't happen for another 4-5 years, and the N96 will
have been long superceded by then.

As DAB seems to be pretty full, I cannot see that happening.

Are there any plans to ensure that a service will exist when the N96 is
launched, otherwise I can see a lot of bad publicity coming.

when downloadable video is available on phones, live tv seems very old
fashioned and pointless - regardless of the technical innovations involved
in delivering it.
