The Uruguayan government has chosen DVB-H as the country's broadcast mobile TV standard.
The decision to adopt DVB-H - in addition to DVB-T - came after a year long evaluation of DVB and US and Japanese alternatives by The National Commission of Free-to-Air Digital Terrestrial Television (Comisión Nacional de Televisión Digital Terrestre Abierta).
Leon Lev, president of URSEC (Unidad Reguladora de Servicios de Comunicaciones) said: "The timely adoption of the technical standard is an initial step to facilitate the development of digital terrestrial television by allowing all involved players to understand the regulatory framework which will be the basis for the transition to digital television in Uruguay."
