Bert,

You seem to imply that DVB-H is only broadcast separately from DTT.  It can
be, but it is also designed to be included as part of a normal DVB-T
transmission, and that is where the power of DVB-H comes in.

<http://www.dvb.org/documents/white-papers/wp07.DVB-H.final.pdf>

"Like DVB-T, DVB-H can be used in 6, 7 and 8 MHz channel environments.
However, a 5MHz option is also specified for use in non-broadcast
environments. A key initial requirement, and an amazing feature of DVB-H, is
that it can co-exist with DVB-T in the same multiplex. Thus, an operator can
choose to have 2 DVB-T services and one DVB-H service in the same overall
DVB-T multiplex."

and

<http://www.dvb.org/documents//DVB-H_Outline.pdf>

" Usage scenarios:
.The following slides give examples of network configurations
.Existing DVB-T network with indoor coverage and DVB-H sharing MUX
.DVB-T and DVB-H using hierarchical transmission in the same RF channel;
DVB-H on the high priority stream
.DVB-H dedicated network which may, e.g., use 4k OFDM"

Only the latter is possible here, and that option will render it to be a
subscription-only service.
