EU telecommunications chief favors European mobile TV standard

Viviane Reding, the telecommunications chief of the European Union, said Thursday that she would support the European mobile television broadcasting standard over U.S. and South Korean rivals when the commission decides next month which one to back. IHT reports.

"The lack of a single standard has held back wider use of television broadcasts on cellphones, but EU support for digital video broadcast handheld, or DVB-H, technology could be the decisive factor in the battle between half a dozen standards."
