  • Broadcasting and Mobile Telecommunications
    INTERWORKING BroadcastingInterworking and mobile telecommunications: – not convergence Walter Tuttlebee, Derek Babb, James Irvine, Georges Martinez and Kevin Worrall Mobile VCE – Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile & Personal Communications Much has been spoken in recent years about the “convergence” of the telecommunications and broadcasting industries. Today, both industries have made the analogue-to-digital transition – with GSM/3G and DAB/DVB respectively. Many companies from both industries now accept that there is potential for new revenue streams – that could be created through collaboration, but not through convergence. The Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Personal Communications (Mobile VCE) was conceived to undertake leading-edge, industry-led, academic research for the mobile communications industry. This article discusses the motivations and constraints of their latest research initiative – which explores broadcast-mobile interworking – and describes the origins of the programme, its structure and key research themes. Introduction The history, capabilities, assets, culture and fears of the broadcast and telecom industries are quite different. Such factors influence what is commercially possible. Mobile network operators have paid vast sums of money for 3G spectrum, which contrasts with what they perceive as the “free spectrum” that has been allo- cated to broadcasters. Consequently, they do not wish to see broadcasters providing telecom services to tele- com customers. Similarly, broadcasters fear the loss of existing spectrum allocations as the analogue shut- down approaches, with the completion of the transition to DVB. Against such deep-rooted concerns, the pros- pect of some kind of convergence of new 3rd generation (3G) mobile networks and digital broadcast networks is remote.
