  2. About DVB-T • Since its conception in 1993, the DVB Project has established beyond doubt the value and viability of pre-competitive cooperation in the development of open digital television standards. DVB’s open standards guarantee fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with regard to Intellectual Property Rights, allowing them to be freely adopted and utilized worldwide. At present a membership of more than 260 companies and organizations contributes to on-going work in the various modules, refining and improving the existing standards and developing new ones that address the needs of an ever-changing broadcasting landscape. • DVB-T allows service providers to match, and even improve on, analogue coverage - at a fraction of the power. It extends the scope of digital terrestrial television into the mobile field, which was simply not possible before, or with other digital systems. As such, it is future proof.

  3. Worldwide Adoption • DVB-T is the most popular digital terrestrial television system in the world, adopted in more countries than any other. It has been successfully deployed in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Singapore and Australia.
