EU Suggests Nokia's Mobile-TV Standard
The European Commission is supporting a standard based on Nokia Corp. technology for television broadcasting to cell phones in Europe, according to a draft document obtained by Dow Jones Newswires.
The commission, the European Union's regulatory arm, said the DVB-H standard is the "strongest contender."
Two other standards, T-DMB, which is used in South Korea, and MediaFlo, a technology pioneered by San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc are less prevalent, according to the commission, which noted that using a single standard is necessary to avoid "market fragmentation."
The commission said it plans to add DVB-H to the list of standards published in its official journal, meaning EU member countries will be required to encourage the use of DVB-H.
