Fu Liang:
Mobile TV standards must converge
In the Mobile TV supply chain, radio, television and telecommunications
are integral parts. Cooperation is the only way to achieve win-win.
Without the support of mobile carriers and relative government ministries,
mobile TV can only be called MP3 TV or MP4 TV. It would be impossible
to achieve video-on-demand paid services. Meantime, without approval
of radio and television ministries, telecom carriers cannot do much
either. |
