Mobile TV Insights

As mobile broadcasting emerges as a key trend amid the growing convergence between IT, communications and broadcasting, Mr Peter MacAvock, Executive Director of DVB (Switzerland) led an insightful discussion into the international development of this technology at the BroadcastAsia International Conference.

Speaking on his expectations of mobile TV, Mr MacAvock said, “Over the next couple of years, the multimedia features that are standard on mobile phones now will become video – at least part of it. As technology improves, you will have a phone that becomes a television and an MP3 player with significant storage for video files. Media companies will need to invest in new infrastructures to support the service. (They) have to think about how to get a return on their investment.

"On the positive side, this is going to generate an enormous demand for new mobile phones. Analysts expect demand for 100 million mobile receivers within the first three years of its release."
