2006-03-02T191526Z 01 Nootr Rtridsp 1 Tech-Nokia-Mobiletv-DcNokia expects a mass take up of mobile TV by 2008. After dozens of trials they expect mobile users will enjoy TV and even pay between 5 to 10 Euros a month for it.

A challenge to the roll out is the MobiTV broadcast standard. Nokia favors the European DVB-H standard, but the preferred frequencies are not available throughout the continent. That means certain countries like Finland, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands will get TV faster than other countries.
