There are currently several competing mobile TV technologies and a winner has yet to emerge. Nokia and Motorola will work to ensure interoperability among their DVB-H mobile devices and network equipment.
"Operators around the world are evaluating broadcast mobile TV as a compelling new service to offer their subscribers - and interoperability will play a key role in bringing these services to market faster," said Rob Bero, Director of Broadcast Technologies, Motorola
