A number of wireless industry leaders announced support today for the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld) standard, at the National Association of Broadcasters conference. DVB-H is an open standard for delivering broadcast digital TV (DTV) to mobile devices such as smartphones and PDAs.DVB-H delivers an improved end user experience over current video streaming services that utilize cellular networks and reduce network capacity for voice services, according to the DVB Project consortium. Trials are underway in the US, Germany, France, UK, Finland, Sweden, and other countries, with more trials expected to launch later in 2005 and throughout 2006
