German mobile television licenses expected this month

7 August 2007 10:07 by Rich "vurbal" Fiscus | 1 comment

German mobile television licenses expected this month German media authorities are expected to award a national mobile television license for the DVB-H standard by month's end.

A spokeswoman for the directors' conference of the state media authorities said interested parties, including a consortium of T-Mobile and the German units of O2 and Vodafone, have until Friday to get proposals ready. However, a decision hasn't been made yet as to whether they'll be able to compete for the license as a group.

The big rush to get a licensee in place is next year's Euro 2008 soccer championship, which will be held in Austria and Switzerland next June.

As we reported last month, DVB-H has been selected as the official standard for mobile television by the European Union. Implementation of a single standard is seen as critical for allowing European companies to be industry leaders.
