ATSC Forms Planning Team 6 to Make 3.0 Standard Known Globally

"Encouraging" ATSC 3.0's "global recognition" will be the task of a new ATSC Planning Team 6, said the organization. PT6's “scope of work” will include “strategic communications” with international standards development organizations, plus “new work item proposals for technical enhancements to the ATSC 3.0 standard that support global use cases,” it said. ATSC named Alan Stein, InterDigital, as PT6 chair, and Louis Libin, Sinclair, as vice chair. PT6 reports to the ATSC board. The U.S. asks ITU to adopt 3.0 as a digital broadcast TV standard internationally (see 1904070001).
