I wonder if the N96 will get deployed in Poland..?
Polish Telecoms regulator UKE launched a “beauty contest” for a frequency license, to contain exclusively Mobile TV and radio services based on DVB-H.
Apparently there is 8MHz of bandwidth, right across Poland, and the winner will be able to use the DVB-H license until 2015 in 31 Polish cities, then until 2023 all over the country! The potential contenders will have to provide a minimum of 10 radio and TV channels, and must submit by 15 Jan 2009.
So we can count Poland as another one of those countries that is going DVB-H – now if they would only sort things out in the UK…..!

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.
