Back to December 2004 the European Telecommunications Standard Institute, ETSI) accepted DVB-H specifications (Digital Video Broadcast Handheld) as the main standard for mobile TV-services in Europe. However the companies supporting this or that standard didn’t stick to the same policy. Nokia was actively promoting DVB-H, as the result, the ETSI is about to set DVB-H as the mobile TV standard in Europe.

To add, Germany, England and Holland objected to DVB-H, but after the directive is accepted they will have to follow it and contribute to development of mobile TV.
