EC unveils mobile TV guidelines

The European Commission has published a set of mobile TV guidelines that hopefully will accelerate the roll out of mobile TV service across Europe.

The EC said it had identified the main principles which EU regulators and governments should follow when authorising operators to provide mobile TV services, including that frequencies made available for mobile TV should be withdrawn if the service has not started within a reasonable period of time. Regulators should keep the authorisation process open to all industry players and create conditions which encourage cooperation between telecoms operators and broadcasters. Also, DVB-H based mobile TV services in every EU country should work together.
