Minister calls for a European standars for mobile TV
i2010 28.9.2006
Europe must not lag behind the rest of the world in taking mobile TV into everyday use. We need at least one mobile TV network with a single common standard throughout the EU in order to serve markets right across Europe.
Finland’s Minister of Transport and Communications, Susanna Huovinen, drew particular attention to the development of mobile TV in an international seminar on the information society held in Finland on 28 September.
“At present, the mobile TV sector is trying to select a single technical standard. Today the policy-makers and decision-takers attending this seminar have also emphasised the importance of having a common standard in order to develop the European information society,” Ms Huovinen pointed out.
