EC names DVB-H as mobile TV preference

The European Commission has said DVB-H should be a non-mandatory standard for mobile TV services across the EU's 27 member states. It’ll be added to the official list in February next year, although a number of countries – including Great Britain – said it was too early to choose a single standard. Countries opposed to the choice need to persuade a total of 18 EU states to object if they want to block the process. [Sources: europa.eu, siliconrepublic.com, cellular-news.com]
