The MBMS was designed to eliminate the need <strong>for</strong> operators to introduce new<br />

hardware into their networks. It is a solution <strong>for</strong> transferring light video and audio<br />

clips, although real streaming is also possible. An important feature <strong>of</strong> MBMS is<br />

that it can be multiplexed with existing services on the same carrier. This will<br />

allow operators to <strong>of</strong>fer voice, data and TV over a common service and network<br />

infrastructure. For heavy streaming in a wide area <strong>for</strong> a large and concentrated<br />

audience the <strong>DVB</strong>-H system, which is the main alternative to MBMS, is more<br />

suitable.<br />

Practical network implementations may be expected by the third quarter <strong>of</strong> 2007<br />

and the first terminal to be available the third quarter the year after. According to<br />

estimations 30% <strong>of</strong> the terminals will support MBMS the year 2010 [22, 23].<br />
