T-Mobile to launch DVB-H Mobile TV in Germany

DVB-H development is a go in Germany via T-Mobile!
T-Mobile is building a network of DVB-H transmitters in Germany, in a partnership with a company called Mobile Broadcast, according to Techwatch.co.uk.
This could mean a service launching by next year – great, when you consider the mess that came before (the company that won the bidding, Mobile 3.0, had to hand back the license when they weren’t able to build out the network!).
The big driver for DVB-H is touted as being Football, which is understandable – but I can’t help thinking they are going to need more than a seasonal sport to drive usage – probably one huge component would be decent handsets. Some of the previous DVB-H handsets haven’t exactly excelled in the style stakes!
Well, a positive story for DVB-H is a good thing, seems like it’s been a long time…
