Korean Mobile TV Technology Adopted as Global Standard
A Korean-made mobile broadcasting technology has been adopted as a global standard. Digital Chosunilbo reports.
Developed by adding a multimedia aspect to Europe's digital audio broadcasting (DAB) technology, terrestrial digital mobile broadcasting (T-DMB) enables clear reception of video and audio while on the move.
The Ministry of Information and Communication said Saturday that the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) confirmed T-DMB as a global standard after getting approval from its 191 member nations.
... Some 7.8 million T-DMB devices are currently in use in Korea. The technology is being pilot-tested in 11 nations including Germany, the Vatican, Ghana, Indonesia, Britain, France, the Netherlands, China, South Africa and Canada."
