So What? DVB will start a work item on the subject in November September 2008 So What? DVB will start a work item on the subject in November You will then hear more about this topic Many companies have broadcast units Home entertainment + mobile Services: Especially for operators handover between 802.11 and DVB is important Please talk to your colleagues and share your ideas with us PAR/5C coming soon for TG in 802.21 Burak Simsek, Fraunhofer Inst. et al.
