CNET has run a story from Strategy+Business warning that digital terrestrial television (DTT) is a threat to mobile operators as it provides a better way to send streaming video content to mobile phones. “Rather than stubbornly relying on mobile networks as the sole content delivery technology, cellular operators should consider developing plans and partnerships to bundle DTT networks with their own mobile data networks.” The author has apparently missed the fact that telcos have been trialling DTT (or at least, broadcast video – and it sounds like exactly the same thing) for about a year now, and have been hyping the technology as “the next big thing”.
