DVB-H and 3G info

[xssnet]

Can anyone give me more info on DVB-H and 3G, as I am looking how it integrates with live broadcasts and would this replace the dstv set top boxes, I know multichoice is looking at it as an additional income stream ?

Nokia's model has been available for a few months and quite a few on the way.

DVB-H will provide a broadcast based downlink on a separate network, while the GSM/3G network will more be used for reverse link to provide control, i.e. you'll manage the service via GSM/UMTS but receive the stream via DVB-H.

There is a broadcast section in the UMTS standard but not yet implemented.
