Your response also reminds me of another thing (remember that this DVB-H capability comes almost for free in the larger context of DVB-T...) As part of a management course many, many moons ago, the instructor was talking about marketing and competition, and how to "manage" in the best interest of a company when a truly innovative approach brings preponderous success. Such a success made possible a printer for a certain company that was leaps and bounds beyond the competition. So much so, that even if one "hobbled/hampered" the new product, it would be the new best in the market at a lower price point. The marketing guys (successfully) offered the "new" (hampered but still better performing) product at a price point on par with the current generation, and offered the real "new" (unhampered and therefor in reality lower cost) product in a new class of high-speed devices at a much higher cost (and corresponding profit margin). If one had DVB-T, are you proposing that one should NOT use DVB-H for reasons of merely "hampering" performance and service offering?
