In November 2005, spodtronic.com started producing a visual radio service in Germany.
Their version of visual radio uses radio streaming over UMTS, with associated graphics and text sent down the same UMTS connection. A client is available for a user to download and install into their Nokia (series 60) mobile phone.
This product requires no extra infrastructure at the radio station, since it works by using the metatags already present in the internet stream.
