The European Commission moved to simplify the nascent mobile phone TV sector by adopting a standard backed by Finland's Nokia, but mobile operators said Brussels was acting too quickly. DVB-H is the only standard with a global presence although South Korea, Japan, the United States and China are embracing local rivals. Some EU member states, such as Britain, Germany and the Netherlands, had been opposed to setting DVB-H as the single standard in the bloc. But the EU executive said on Monday it was the one most widely used in Europe and is between trials and commercial launch in 16 countries. (Reuters, PR)
