The Mobile DTV Alliance (set up to promote DVB-H in the US) has finally convinced HiWire to join, which is good because before then it just looked like a shill for Modeo. Scott Wills, president and COO of Hiwire will serve on the Board of Directors. HiWire is a division of Aloha Partners, “the nation’s largest 700 MHz spectrum owner, with 12 MHz of channel capacity in all of its markets”. This spectrum will be used to deploy a DVB-H mobile TV network, with the first market (Las Vegas) planned to be up and running by the end of the year.
