Emerging new technology applications in the mobile industry are revolutioning the way we live in this world. The mobile phones industry has evolved in a fast way in the last 15 years (Video 1). Mobile phones are getting more and more sophisticated and complex and new features and applications for mobile phones are created continuously. New technology allows more applications and services for users.
Video 1: Mobile Phone evolution
Portability is the evolution for consumer electronics. Mobile TV is the next step as mobile phones evolve and get more multimedia features. Mobile TV is a new service concept “Mobile TV on the go” that has the potential to change the present market for mobile handset services. Mobile TV combines the two bestselling consumer products in history, TVs and mobile phones (Jordan & Schatz, 2006).
The Mobile TV service is defined as real-time broadcast transmissions of multimedia (video & audio) content to mobile devices (Yeun, 2007), represents an emerging potential platform for multimedia applications because it bring traditional TV services and on-demand multimedia content to mobile devices (Jiehan Zhou, 2009).
Telecommunication infrastructures, ICT technology and media content service are converging in a way that mobile TV is feasible and a current reality. Mobile TV has become feasible as television signals are receivable on a mobile device. Is nowadays a reality, in the US mobile phone users have been accessing live broadcast TV since late 2003. And in China, due to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the population using mobile TV in the Beijing area increased. (Jiehan Zhou, 2009)
During the last 5 years a high number of technological and commercial trials in Europe and USA confirmed the feasibility and real applicability and potential of Mobile TV.
Mobile TV is multimedia service which has considerable technical and commercial attention. TV services offer a high potential revenue generator for all the players in the value chain, mobile operators and manufacturers, broadcasters and content providers.
There are multiple technologies for delivering Mobile TV services. Different transmission standards are adopted in different world areas such as EU, Asia, and America. Presently there are some uncertainties concerning the future market positions and strategies of: mobiles operators, TV broadcasters, content providers, standardization bodies and others, so they are researching and working on defining a interoperable and compatible technological scenario that enables the development of new innovative features and functionalities (Jiehan Zhou, 2009).
The past decade has seen many proposed standards for delivering Mobile TV service, such as Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld (DVB-H), Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB), Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS), MIMO, MediaFLO and so on (Jiehan Zhou, 2009).
The objectives of this Blog are:
- 1st Explain which technologies are behind Mobile TV services (emission).
- 2nd What is going on in the Mobile TV market discuss about the current standards situation and trend which are expected to dominate the sector according the country.
- 3rd Discuss about the new challenges in the broadcasting TV industry (Europe).
