Norway decides on T-DMB for Mobile TV

Worldscreen.com is reporting that a joint venture between Norweigan broadcasters NRK, TV2, and Modern Times Group, have launched MiniTV – a new mobile-TV service that uses the T-DMB standard.
T-DMB isn’t something we’ve really seen in Europe much, and has won most of it’s customers in Asia. Interestingly, there are going to be a mixture of Free-to-air channels, and Pay-TV. The license will be valid until 2011, and we can expect stuff like VoD and interactive too! Nice!

It is good to see this site recognisingT-DMB – but PLEASE remember that:-
1. The potocol was developed in Europe
2. It is a subset of the Eureka 147 protcol and can be easily aplied to ANY system currently delivering DAB, or DAB+
3. T-DMB has been the subject of Trial and Pilot systems around the world and isbeing taken up incresingly by Broadcasters as the number of DAB / DAB+ Multiplexes increses.
4. The capabilities that the system can deliver go FAR beyond simple (but highly robust) Mobile TV, – however, at this stage, I will desist from boring you and simply wish NMTV, all the sucess for the project and look forward to seeing the large number of similar projects in Europe and else where a simlar amount of good luck for the future!!
