Mobile telly fan Nokia has signed an interoperability pact with rival phone maker Samsung.

The pair have agreed to work together on compatibility for DVB-H products - DVB-H is the flavour of mobile TV backed by Nokia.

Nokia and Samsung will work to promote the standard and are planning to have standards-based offerings ready from the middle of this year for operators aiming for trials or rollouts.

Nokia has already signed a deal with Motorola on DVB-H announcing they will be working together to promote the broadcast standard with a view to interoperability between all their relevant kit and services.

Analysts predict broadcast mobile TV will be watched by 210 million people by 2011.
