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?
