The single European standard is there (DVB-H), and now we’re waiting for the carriers and handset manufacturers to pitch us about the “wonderful world of mobile TV.” However, it’s worth noting that a recent poll suggests 95% of Europeans are uninterested in mobile TV!
While we still believe the mobile TV is a killer app for mobiles, somehow this makes sense. The technology is still brand new and there are just a few mobile TV enabled devices…
Undoubtedly both operators and handset makers will keep touting the mobile TV as THE technology poised to take off and will keep pushing it with all their advertising money in the coming months. On the other hand, it’s the consumers who need more affordable devices to use the new service regularly. While commuting for instance?
