I don't see any use for this, especially in Germany and given how streaming is getting more popular year over year but let them develop - I guess they have other targets in mind.

we had tv for phones in germany for 10 years, nobody wanted it and im not sure if its still a thing.  watched some wc 2006 on a phone because reasons...

They were bad because they also consumed a lot of power. Add to this that dvbt is dead in Germany and there is no sign dvbt 2 will change this.

well it because tv is so cheap in germany.  i pay 25€ for cable tv and internet/phone.   DVDT just cant compete with those offerings.

its cable or satellite, all other is dead.

For broadcasting, this is true, yes. Dvbt 2 will also be with hevc iirc so this will require new hardware, too, which will be a show stopper for the technology.
