Increased Handset Choice Will Not Aid DVB-H Mobile TV Growth

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:53:54 +0000

Multiple Mobile TV Standards Fragmenting Global Opportunity

Strategy Analytics finds that a quagmire of regulatory delays is hampering Mobile TV spectrum availability in Europe, as described in its recent report, "Enabling Technologies: Entertainment At Heart Of OEMs Brand & Profit Strategies." These delays will only delay DVB-H adoption over the next two to three years.

"These regulatory delays, combined with the success of ISDB-T in Japan, the momentum of DMB services in Korea, the commitment of the two largest operators in the US to using MediaFLO, and the rising chorus of support for MBMS in 3GPP2 will create a much more fragmented mid-term for mobile TV adoption globally," states Chris Ambrosio, Director in the Wireless Practice at Strategy Analytics. » read more »
