The support of all standards in the same phone (DVB-H,FLO,DMB-s and DMB-T) demonstrates the power of chipsets available today and give a hope for mass production of phones rather than being carrier specific.
Carrier specific production runs tend to sap considerable resorces and prevent the handset prices from falling.Real growth in mobile TV will now come from greater availability of handsets and services.
New launches such as iPhone, which incidentally do not support any form of mobile TV are still likely to divert all attention for the year 2007 on its features and away from mobile TV.
The industry really needs to meet this challange.
