Finnish cell phone manufacturer, Nokia, revealed earlier this week that it will work with Samsung Electronics to promote an open mobile TV standard based on DVB-H.

By agreeing on a single DVB-H-based standard, Samsung and Nokia, are hoping to encourage greater adoption of broadcast TV for mobile devices, and gain the upper hand over manufacturers and carriers using alternative technologies like DMB and MediaFLO.

The concept of mobile television has gained plenty of interest over the past couple of years, but services have yet to take off in the mainstream consumer market, due in part to the lack of a single, globally recognized standard for wireless broadcasting.
