Mobile TV - Time for action

The operators, vendors, and broadcasters of the mobile telecommunication industry are approaching towards effective decision making to achieve the required standards and technologies for mobile television services. The operators are required to make sure that their strategic planning effectively enable the networks to transmit the contents with the continued adoption of mobile TV by 2010. The operators are expecting the 2007 to be a significant year for decision making around mobile TV standards. Despite the popularity of Digital Video Broadcast Handheld (DVB-H), the mobile television has some certain advantages over the DVB-H. The 3G cellular is designed for one-to-one data and voice services, which is not similar to one-to-many broadcasting. The industry operators would require an independent broadcast technology and network to meet the mobile TV demand.
