Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)^[1] Mobile Broadcast Services Enabler Suite (BCAST) is an open global specification for mobile TV and on-demand video services which can be adapted to any IP-based mobile and P2P content delivery technology. Designed to support broadcast technologies such as DVB-H, 3GPP MBMS, 3GPP2 and mobile unicast streaming systems, OMA's BCAST 1.0 standard specifies a variety of features including:

Electronic service guide
File and stream delivery
Service and content protection using the smart card or DRM profiles
Terminal and service provisioning
Interactivity
Notifications

The first mobile TV solution to offer end-to-end service and content protection according to both OMA BCAST smart card and OMA DRM profiles was demonstrated in April, 2007. ^[2]

[edit] Security issues with DRM Profile

NOKIA DRM hacked

Broadcast services requirements being completely different from VOD, OMA BCAST Smartcard profile has been recommended by all the industries to be the unified standard used for Mobile TV broadcast.
