T-DMB in London

Nokia general manager, Anssi Vanjoki, on T-DMB:

"It's a Korean technology and will remain so from here to eternity." (source)

Meanwhile, Orange, BT Livetime, Arqiva, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, SMG Television, Virgin Radio, GCap Media, Emap, Celador, Frontier Silicon, ETRI, Samsung, LG, Perstel, OnTimeTek, Pixtree and my brother-in-law will be participating in closed user group T-DMB broadcasts in London from April 2006.

Nokia's revenue-focussed, closed technology shouldn't stand a chance if there's any justice in the world. People want free to air TV and proven business models can support its delivery. Of course the best technology often loses, but perhaps Nokia's arrogance will be their undoing.
