network. The award of two pan-European licences is expected to spur the
development of mobile TV services, as well as mobile telephony and broadband
solutions.
Key questions
- What potential do these hybrid networks have?
- What is CGC/DVB-SH technology that makes it possible to develop this type
of network?
- How do these hybrid networks work?
- Which players will rely on these hybrid networks?
- What services will these players offer? Where is the added value?
- What strategies are chipset/device manufacturers employing, and what
agreements have already been announced?
- How do these players plan on positioning themselves with respect to mobile
