Reding’s mobile TV plans under fire

A drive by the European Commission to endorse a single technology for TV broadcasts on mobile phones has come under fire from Germany, Britain and the Netherlands. The FT reports.

She wants to put DVB-H on a list of official European standards, and could as soon as next year compel countries to use only this technology for mobile television, in the case of market failure.

But several member states object to any move to make the system obligatory, according to a paper seen by the Financial Times. Instead, they argue that the nascent market should develop on its own."
