Nokia and Samsung to promote DVB-H based mobile television

Mobile phone makers Nokia and Samsung have together announced that they are going to work in collaboration to promote open standards in mobile television.

The two companies support the DVB-H technology for mobile television standard. Nokia and Samsung said in a joint statement that they wanted to encourage greater adoption of broadcast mobile TV services.

The mobile television market is currently very scattered with multiple platforms making it complicated for service providers to offer this service to their customers.

DMB and MediaFlo are two other technologies which are being adopted by providers around the world. As per market sources as many as half a dozen technologies are out there to power mobile television.

Nokia and Samsung added that they are going to use the OMA BCAST standard for mobile operators.
