I think it is very logical to use AVC if you're just now
introducing HDTV, especially because any HDTV streams will
have to be sent along with at least one SDTV stream per
channel, to remain compatible with the SD-only installed
base. With 8 MHz channels, shouldn't be a problem.
What happened essentially is that DVB-T is going through
a transition that ATSC can avoid. Simultaneously intro
of H.324 makes it more interesting, to me, than just brute
force simulcast of SD and HD over MPEG-2.

I saw that. My intepretation was that Korea was going to use
DMB-T only for this mobile service, which I assume to be by
subscription only? It wasn't clear in the article.
