By George Winslow — Broadcasting & Cable, 12/5/2010 12:55:00 PM

Even though most broadcasters won’t be launching mobile digital TV services until the fall of 2011, the Advanced Television Services Committee is already at work on enhancements to the ATSC M/H (A/153) standard that was formally approved in October of 2009.

Some of these enhancements will provide better measurement of mobile DTV viewing and will allow broadcasters to potentially create new revenue streams from on demand content, better targeted advertising and widgets.

One important potential development is the ATSC’s work on the Non-Real Time Content Services (NRT) standard, which would enable a new class of widgets that would make it possible to delivery on demand news, weather and other content while creating a variety of new advertising supported services.

The first round of NRT enhancements, which would enable the broadcast of non-real time content, is expected to be published as a candidate standard in the first quarter of 2011 and then formally approved later in the year. A second round of enhancements to NRT, which will enable more interactivity, will probably appear in 2012.

The development of NRT is important because the first launches of mobile DTV services have simply been simulcasts of linear TV broadcasts, with the same ads spliced into both the TV and mobile feeds. This is helpful as a defensive strategy: It preserves a stations existing audience as viewers spend more time with mobile video but it does not produce any new revenues to cover mobile DTV investments or strengthen the bottom line of stations struggling with a poor ad climate.

Read the rest of the article here: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/460602-Next_Generation_Standards_for_MDTV.php

Broadcast spectrum to be utilized for the new mobile service will come from the three owned-and-operated station groups — Fox, NBC & Telemundo, and ION — and the nine local broadcast groups, which are Belo, Cox, E.W. Scripps, Gannett, Hearst, Media General, Meredith, Post Newsweek and Raycom. Separately, these nine local broadcast companies formed Pearl Mobile DTV Company LLC as a vehicle for their involvement in the venture.

By aggregating existing broadcast spectrum from its launch partners, the new venture will have the capacity to offer a breadth of mobile video and print content to nearly 150 million U.S. residents. In addition to broadcast spectrum, the partners will commit content, marketing resources and capital to the new venture. The service will employ ATSC-M/H, an open broadcast transmission system developed by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) specifically for mobile devices.

The venture is designed to complement the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) National Broadband Initiative by giving consumers mobile access to video content while reducing congestion of the nation’s wireless broadband infrastructure. In addition, the service’s mobile content network will have the capacity to deliver local and national time-sensitive emergency information to citizens across the U.S.

Regarding the announcement, Jack Abernethy, Chief Executive Officer of Fox Television Stations, stated: “We are excited about building a platform that makes mobile television universally available and economically viable. This venture is the first step in forging cross-industry and company partnerships to deliver content to consumers.”

“This initiative offers a path for the next generation of video consumption, and will help the FCC in its goal of ensuring efficient and reliable broadband service for US consumers,” said John Wallace, President, NBC Local Media.

“Local broadcasters are the backbone of the U.S. media industry,” said David J. Barrett, President and CEO of Hearst Television Inc. “This sharing of content, broadcast spectrum, marketing resources and capital is unprecedented, and underscores U.S. broadcasters’ commitment to bringing vital local news, weather, and emergency information to increasingly mobile U.S. consumers. This is a critically important initiative that holds great promise for our audiences and the television industry. This is truly the next generation of local television service.”

“This venture takes to the next level the work we embarked upon three years ago with the development of Mobile DTV technology, in anticipation of digital TV capabilities and consumer mobile demand,” said Brandon Burgess, CEO of ION Television.

“Mobile digital television places each of our companies at the center of a consumer transformation, putting us on cell phones, netbooks, DVD players and even in-vehicle entertainment systems,” said David Lougee, President, Gannett Broadcasting, Gannett Co. Inc. “And it’s the consumers who are the big winners. From news and entertainment to emergency information, virtually all U.S. consumers will soon be able to bring their most valuable content with them wherever they go.”

Information regarding a dedicated management team that will focus on securing additional content, spectrum and distribution partnerships for the venture will be made available at a later date.

Amont the first recommendations offered to Congress the FCC is starting with USF reform, mobile data roaming, set-top-box reform and cybersecurity. The agency plans to implement more than 40 policy proposals from its plan.

The number of broadcast viewers has risen over recent years with the digital transition bringing more channels to many areas and the overall awareness being raised through last year’s transition and advertising campaigns. With the inevitable on-set of Mobile Digital Television (MDTV) broadcasters see additional revenue models through use of the spectrum.

Wireless broadband advocates argue that the smartphone and tablet explosion will require more bandwidth than is currently available and the spectrum will help alleviate some of the traffic concerns.

“I think it’s a false choice to think it has to be either broadband or broadcasting,” said NAB executive vice president Dennis Wharton. “[Broadcast] is a one-to-everyone transmission system as opposed to a one-to-one transmission system as used by the internet and cellphone providers … We are much more spectrum-efficient than are other communications providers.”

The FCC’s proposal would require broadcasters to return the 120 MHz spectrum to the government so it can be auctioned off for broadband use. Broadcasters say this would limit channels available in many areas often eliminating say niche programming such as foreign-language and religious channels.

Wharton also claims Verizon and AT&T haven’t yet deployed any of the 108 MHz of wireless spectrum gained during the last year’s digital transition, which required broadcasters to reduce channels from 2 – 69 to 2 – 51. “Now we’re being asked to return more spectrum to the government, and we think there’s a way to work with government to maybe accomplish the goals that they are seeking without threatening all the television stations throughout the country,” said Wharton.

Situated in the heart of the Grand Lobby of the LVCC at NAB (April 12-15), the Mobile DTV Marketplace will demo a wide array of consumer devices rolling out in the near future. The marketplace is being sponsored by a quartet of heavy hitters: the Advanced Television Systems Committee, the Consumer Electronics Association, the Open Mobile Video Coalition, and NAB.

Themed “Experience the Power of Local Broadcast TV on the Go,” the marketplace is being geared to provide local broadcasters with the wide array of likely mobile devices to be shipped soon to American retailers—from smart-phones to hand-held iPad-like PCs to fixed in-vehicle displays.

Mobile DTV proponents also will conduct a NAB Super Session on Tuesday (April 13) to brief executives on an upcoming “consumer showcase” for the Washington, D.C. market (DMA 9) now getting underway with the participation of at least eight local broadcasters. The session, “Mobile TV: Ready for Primetime?” will feature Saul Berman of IBM, Brett Jenkins of Ion Television, Frank Barbieri of Transpera, Jonathan Barzilay of Flo TV, and Gary Arlen of Arlen Communica-tions.

BIGGEST HURDLE? CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE

“While everyone talks about ‘mobile,’ this is more about ‘transportable,’” said panelist Arlen, an analyst based in Bethesda, Md. “Viewers will watch shows or streams wherever they are—thus validating the concept of ‘best available screen.’ That is, they’ll use a handheld or mobile device if they cannot get to a laptop/desktop monitor or a ‘real’ TV set.”

Arlen thinks the major challenge for mobile video will be the competitive landscape. “Consumers will be very confused about the different offers—and the incompatible equipment requirements—as they’re pitched Flo TV, the various OMVC options, as well as streamed Web video services they can get now on smart-phones and other mobile handsets.”

iMovee’s Touch Telly is one of the first products on the market to be ATSC-M/H compatible and is currently on sale in selected U.S. cities.

OMVC Executive Director Anne Schelle said Mobile DTV shouldn’t be mistaken by consumers as simply another option in the current competition already out there. “[Pay-service] MobiTV is only on the Sprint platform and offers largely recorded clips—not simulcasts of live TV,” she said. “And Flo TV is a total premium service and is not offering local stations. At NAB, you’ll see us demo all the local Las Vegas broadcast channels, plus some premium cable content, across [several] broadcast stations.”

NAB Science & Technology Senior Vice President Lynn Claudy said while Mobile DTV will have a big presence at NAB, “The focus is moving well beyond tech-nology demonstrations. The NAB Show’s demos and sessions will underscore the real breadth of participation by industry partners and CE manufacturers—including the CEA—which will be critical in determining if Mobile DTV will succeed in the marketplace.” However, Claudy said, the technology side of mobile DTV is now largely stable. “Our optimism in the technology realm has paid off well.”

Claudy said—based on what promises to be a robust level of participation in the Mobile DTV Marketplace (and in the Mobile DTV Pavilion located in the upper level of the LVCC South Hall)—”NAB is optimistic about Mobile DTV’s commercial future.” NAB’s chief technology executive also said engineers should take note of the several Mobile DTV sessions and papers being offered at the Broadcast Engineering Conference. One paper, “Perceived Video Quality and Bit Rate in the ATSC Mobile DTV Standard,” will be presented by the Communications Research Center of Canada on Sunday (April 11) at 5 p.m. (Rm. S219, LVCC).

Lynn Claudy, NAB Science & Technology Senior Vice President

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

Andy Whiteside, general manager of Acrodyne Services, said for local stations the implementation of Mobile DTV is not just a transmitter or studio upgrade. “It requires an integrated approach to the ’signal chain’ in order to provide the broadcaster and potential viewer with full access to the capabilities of the new standard,” he said. (Acrodyne, which last year shuttered its transmitter business, increasingly sees itself as a Mobile DTV systems integrator and does not en-dorse any particular product lines.)

Whiteside said the new ATSC A/153 standard offers broadcasters myriad opportunities beyond what he calls “little TV,” but he said several business and legal issues remain—notably content rights and questions of free-to-air or subscription—which must be resolved. “The resolution of such issues drives the tech-nical side, so my advice to tech execs is to retain as much flexibility as possible in selecting equipment and suppliers, so as not to get backed into a corner. Mobile DTV represents the only opportunity for broadcasters to extend their reach to new demographics, to extend their reach outside the home,” he said.

Arlen said revenue questions remain, as well—”namely who gets a share of what? I’m also waiting to see how the mobile device dealers—ranging from big-box merchants to wireless phone carrier outlets—will sell their video services. That will add another level of entertainment and a lot of complexity to what is already a complicated sales process,” he said.

Sterling Davis, vice president of engineering at Cox Broadcasting, chairs the OMVC’s Technical Advisory Group. “We already have five [Cox] stations up and running with mobile TV and there are a lot of good reasons to do it,” he said. “At this stage, I don’t think the jury’s still out on mobile TV—I think it’s going to happen. Most broadcasters will wind up doing it sooner or later. And it’s not very expensive to implement,” said Davis, the recipient of last year’s NAB Engineer-ing Achievement Award for Television.
