[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 158186, member: 177511"] JUST WHEN you thought there couldn't possibly be any room for yet another technology that gives you mobile TV, IPWireless has come out with one - TDtv. It's aiming to drive yet another nail into the coffin of DVB-H, the technology which only yesterday, O2 said was wonderful. The beauty with TDtv is that it utilises spectrum that existing European operators already have. It runs in what is known as unpaired TD spectrum and IPWireess already has four European operators already testing the system. One of which is in the UK. The INQ saw it being demonstrated today and once again, there's no obvious deficiencies with the picture. In fact, this is the only mobile TV solution which we've ever heard of that will work at 200 mph. TDtv has got a lot going for it. For starters, it keeps control of the broadcast content firmly in the hands of the network operator. Not a third party. Plus it offers the chance for operators to mix niche broadcasts sent via 3G with rebroadcast TV channels carried over TDtv. Plus it shouldn't be too expensive to implement. A further curiosity is that TDtv is actually built around MBMS - the TV version of multimedia messaging. So it broadcasts using the cellular base station. IPWireless claims that fitting a satellite receiver to the base station would be the best way to feed it content. Wonder if BSkyB has heard of this? Anyway, Sprint Nextel likes the idea so much it has just sunk $10 million in IPWireless. So TDtv stands a least half a chance of succeeding. Source: The Inquirer [/QUOTE]
