European Commission Chooses DVB-H for Mobile TV
 
The European Commission today made mobile TV technology Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds, or DVB-H, the official EU standard, a move that is expected to push broadcasters, operators and handset makers to speed efforts to introduce mobile broadcasting across Europe. The commission said only a common European standard will create a pan-European mobile TV market. The DVB-H standard is backed by handset makers Nokia, Motorola, Philips, Sagem, Sony, Ericsson, Samsung as well as operators Vodafone, O2 and T-mobile. It is the most widely used standard for mobile TV in the EU and is non-mandatory. Big EU governments such as Germany, Britain, Spain and the Netherlands argued that it should be left to the market to decide which technology emerges in the end.
