As the final part of my trilogy of blogs (you can find the other parts here and here) on Mobile TV, I thought a brief look at where the DVB-H variant has launched….
In the event, I have decided to direct you a great table, courtesy of DVB-H.org, which correlates service availability with country, and MNO (Mobile Network Operator). You can find this table here. I encourage you to take a look, it makes for interesting reading!
I’ve listed a couple of highlights and comments below:
- Italy leads the pack – 3 services running in one country!
- Germany should deploy within 2008
- France should also have a working service by the end of 2008
- There are number of non-European countries where trials are either ongoing, or have been completed, for example: Australia, Canada, and Vietnam – the last of which has actually launched as well!
I will be re-visiting the topic of Mobile TV frequently, with news and commentary, and would love to hear comments that you, the readership, have on it!
