MHP service was also offered in Finland by Finnish Broadcating Corporation ( Yleisradio ), but the service was shut down at the end of 2007 after technical failure.
The shutdown wasn't ever officially announced.
Ultimately the reason for the shutdown was that MHP never gained " critical mass ".
The main reasons for its lack of success in Finland were: 1 ) 50 % of the Finnish households use the terrestrial network, where broadcasting of MHP applications can be really expensive, 2 ) TV broadcasters never told TV viewers about the MHP services — because the digitalization of the TV networks got extremely negative publicity in Finnish media, the broadcasters didn't want to upset their customers further if they had bought new expensive STBs which weren't capable of playing MHP apps, and 3 ) there were only a few MHP set-top boxes in the market — because Finland is such a small market, big manufacturers weren't interested in developing new MHP boxes just for Finland.
MHP-capable STBs are no longer available in Finland.
