Yes I do. DVB-H is designed to deliver content to battery challenged
devices. If channel 55 had been limited to DVB-T there would still be a
mobile, portable broadcast service on it only it would be a better
offering. Current ventures are hung up on the cell phone. They should be
addressing all devices and ignoring the battery challenged devices. IMO.

Initially as we see it will. Later we will see a demand for better
content on larger screens mobile and portable. In other countries that
will be easy since easy reception of DVB-T mobile will already be there.
In Japan using ISDB-T both HD and cell phone content will be receivable
portable and mobile.
In the end all terrestrial broadcast DTV will be receivable portable and
mobile and fixed. All that survive that is. The battery problem will be
solved. Doesn't make sense to me to tailor your broadcast model to a
battery limitation. That is a short term model.
