Even as the telecom industry is debating with the government for spectrum allocation for launch of 3G or triple play services, State-owned television broadcaster Doordarshan has launched mobile TV on the DVB-H platform.
“DVB-H is a technology that allows simultaneous transmission of multiple channels of television, radio and data to a range of multimedia devices including mobile phones, PDA’s, PC’s and other handheld devices. It is a new concept which is going to change the face of television,”
DVB-H offered a number of advantages, which include better reception quality, increased channel carrying capacity, new features such as program guides to facilitate navigation, multi-view and interactive services. “DVB-H brings with it the capability to continually enhance services provided to subscribers, both from a video perspective and from new applications".
DVB works on the IP platform, similar to GSM technology. The signals are transmitted via towers like the GSM telephony, and handsets have to be developed for better transmission for a larger area,
DVB forum is working on a next level of technology for satellite television channels – DVB-SH, which is due to be released later this year and the commercial launch will be in 2009-2010. The satellite technology is being given major thrust as the DVB-H is limited to terrestrial television channels and satellite signals can reach even the remotest parts of the country”
