state of art of italian’s mobile television
In Europe the prospects of the once-promising T-DMB system have largely receded with the closure of the BT Movio service in January 2008 and the format’s disappearance in the German market. It now looks more likely that T-DMB and its derivatives will be used for advanced digital audio broadcasting (DAB) services, in various European countries. Mobile-television services using the DVB-H standard were introduced in Italy in 2006 by 3 Italia, TIM, and Vodafone. By the end of 2007 fewer than one million handsets were in circulation and the number of active subscribers is unknown. As in the US, handset choice is restricted, which reflects the caution of vendors and mobile operators about subscription-based mobile broadcast television. 3 Italia has just launched a free mobile-television offer, which seeks to emulate the Japanese and Korean terrestrial business models and which may lead to a marked increase in service.In Europe the prospects of the once-promising T-DMB system have largely receded with the closure of the BT Movio service in January 2008 and the format’s disappearance in the German market.
