How can EBU Members survive Broadband and Mobiles?
The technology for DVB-H and DMB are finalised. The development of an open standard for IPTV is well underway in the DVB Project, supported by the EBU. EBU Members need now to understand the economics and content dimensions of these new systems. The two-day meeting was attended by about 80 managers from EBU Members with the objective of sharing view and experiences in broadband and services to mobiles.

Equally, the use of these technologies usually means cooperative agreements with network operators. There are many complex challenges ahead.
