Mobile TV According To Nokia And Samsung

by Darren

Nokia and Samsung have decided to play ball when it comes to developing mobile TV standards and products. The company knows that having half a dozen different technologies competing for market share won’t be good, so they seek to unify standards.

Cellphone makers and mobile operators alike are keen to tap the potentially lucrative market in phones that receive television, but the take-up of services has been held back by fragmentation of the technologies on offer.

Finland’s Nokia and many other European industry players favor the home-grown DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast - Handheld) standard for their mobile phones, but competing technologies, including DMB and MediaFlo, have gained ground over recent months due to slow rollout of DVB-H networks.

This will be the way forward. How many companies adopt the technology, and how quickly, will indicate how successful this plan really is.
