Motorola and Nokia said they are working together to support solutions based on open DVB-IPDC standards available for operator partners interested in deploying multi-vendor mobile TV services and trials in 2006 and onward.
Specifically, they are working to ensure interoperability between their DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast – Handheld) mobile devices and network services.
The pair quoted Informa, which expects by 2010 there will be over 50 million DVB-H mobile devices sold globally. Motorola and Nokia believe the availability of interoperable DVB-H enabled devices and services will be a necessity before the market can grow to that size.
