Mobile communication operators are so successful that capacity of the networks is reaching. New spectrum is needed and mobile communication operators are starting about the unefficient use of the spectrum by analogue broadcasting. On the other hand, DVB-T is making much better use of the spectrum and is able to carry mobile services. There are different introduction scenarios in Europe. For highly cabled nations like Germany, Netherlands and Belgium it is likely that analogue services will be switched off and planning of digital services could start from the clean slate.
Mobility is one of the outstanding features of terrestrial broadcast.
Japan has recently set up similar experiments and trials to investigate mobile reception the Japanese OFDM system. Mobile television will develop from television in buses, trains and in the backseats of cars with additional traffic, navigation and information services for the traffic jammed users. DVB-T could provide a multiplex of television, data and individually addressable services. These services could complement mobile communication networks by providing broadband multimedia via the broadcasting network. A new business model may be adopted in some countries where broadcasters, Internet content providers and mobile communication operators will liaise in an open market.
