What is the unique possible conclusion ? • DVB-T2 specifications design implied up to 40.000 hours of work • DVB-T2 has been deployed by the pioneers of Digital TV : UK ! • March 2010 : Commercial Launch of “Freeview HD” • July 2010 : 50% UK households served with DVB-T2 • January 2011 : up to 3 M receivers in operation • DVB-T2 HDTV Set Top Boxes cost : <100£ <118€ <162US$ • DVB-T2 is being to be deployed in THREE continents (Europe, Asia, Africa) • DVB-T2 is (surely) the most efficient DTTV standard available nowadays... • Will it be the most used Digital Terrestrial Broadcast standard ?
