RadioScape and BT Movio welcome new ETSI standard for DAB and Mobile TV

ENHANCED STANDARD PROVIDES BOOST FOR MOBILE TV AND RADIO

London, UK - 11 July 2006 – BT has welcomed the approval of a revised DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) standard which now allows mobile TV and virtually any other content to be broadcast reliably using internet based technologies. The revised standard will underpin the BT Movio service - the first wholesale broadcast mobile entertainment service to launch in the UK this summer.

As part of the revised EN 300 401 specification, The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has included a capability which, using IP to run on a DAB network, allows audio, video and other data to be broadcast efficiently and reliably.
