The 12 are part of an effort dubbed the Mobile Content Venture (a name that is about as creative as my naming my brown teddy bear Brown Bear when I was two), which seeks to deliver free, broadcast television content to specially equipped mobile devices. All of this will be done using spectrum owned by the broadcast companies for delivering over the air TV and radios tuned to a standard pushed by the Open Mobile Video Coalition. [...]

I am pleased to see the interest in Mobile Television – but amazed to see that energy and time is being expended into developing yet another protocol when the T-DMB system is alive a d quietly expanding into markets all over the globe.

Based on the extremely well proven Eureka 147 protocol that encompasses Digital Radio, Data, Broadcast Web sites and Mobile Television, it uses existing and well researched, cost effective components and systems available from multiple vendors.

There are a wide variety of receivers – from Mobile Telephones, personal media players, in car units, GPS Sat Nav enabled units and soon Kitchen Radios and even Ghetto Blastsers that will display the Mobile images. Korea alone has over 13 MILLION DMB receivers in use!

Whilst the USA is waking up and “smelling the coffee” it should be looking beyond its shores and taking up cost effective and exciting technology that already exists to deliver services that are far beyond those that currently exist in the US or indeed are aspired to.
