The EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding has openly sided with DVB-H technology and demands that the European industry lines up behind it by the summer. Finnish operators are working together with the major TV channels to deliver what can be called on-demand-mobile TV over mobile phone networks. And most of the mobile industry is working on bringing internet-style interactivity to mobile TV and content.
