The move is not a surprise. DVB-H is by far the most dominant technology in Europe and is supported by Nokia, Motorola, Philips, Sagem, Sony, Ericsson, Samsung and operators Vodafone, O2 and T-Mobile.
EU communications Commissioner Viviane Reding said: “For Mobile TV to take off in Europe, there must first be certainty about the technology. This is why I am glad that with today's decision, taken by the Commission in close coordination with the Member States and the European Parliament, the EU endorses DVB-H as the preferred technology for terrestrial mobile broadcasting".
