LG, Samsung Team Up To Create Yet Another North American Mobile TV Standard

LG and Samsung are teaming up to develop a mobile TV technology they hope will become the North American standard. The two have signed a contract and developed a proposal they will submit to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), the digital television standards board for the United States and Canada. The proposed mobile TV standard will combine LG's Mobile Pedestrian Handheld (MPH) technology with Samsung's A-VSB, or advanced-vestigial sideband, creating a broadcasting standard that will benefit both broadcaster's and consumer's alike. The standard should be fully developed and ready for testing this summer.
