Antenna Hungaria has won DTT (Digital Terrestrial TV) and Digital Radio rights for Hungary, it has been announced. Initial transmissions are scheduled to start in December to approximately 60% of the nation, with most signals being FTA (Free-to-air).
Great, I hear you say, but what about the Mobile TV? Well:
The mobile television (DVB-H) service will start later this year in and around Budapest (16% coverage). The service will also be available in seven other larger cities and the area around Lake Balaton by the end of 2009, the coverage will be 30%, which will reach 50% by 2012, said AH.
So it seems Antenna Hungaria has a good to amount to be rolling over the next 3-4 years – co-ordinating the service and physical rollout across Digital Terrestrial TV, Digital Radio, and Mobile TV should challenge their Logistics division, that’s for sure!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
