The German ProSiebenSat.1 group has criticised Austria’s DVB-H policy, claiming it favours the public broadcaster ORF. The two main channels ORF1 and ORF2 enjoy must carry status on all platforms, including mobile TV.
According to Sat.1 Österreich and ProSieben Austria, such a status has no foundation and is also contrary to European law. The broadcasters now demand equal access for all broadcasters to mobile TV, be they commercial or public.
