Regulatory delays are hampering Mobile TV spectrum availability in the Europe market and these delays will only delay DVB-H adoption over the next two to three years, according to Strategy Analytics.
These regulatory delays, combined with the success of ISDB-T in Japan, the momentum of DMB services in Korea, the commitment of the two largest operators in the US to using MediaFLO, and the rising chorus of support for MBMS in 3GPP2 will create a much more fragmented mid-term for mobile TV adoption globally, stated Chris Ambrosio, Director in the Wireless Practice at Strategy Analytics.
