You are absolutely right that Europe is charting a very different path from that of the UK. It will be very interesting to see how that pans out.
It isn't broadcasters proceeding in the way they prefer, they may well prefer to not fix what isn't broken and carry on with DTT. They don't own the infrastructure and those who should be making the decisions are sitting on their hands.

Of course, if Europe has a whole decides to keep UHF for DTT rather than mobile, this country doesn't have a "little England" option to opt out of that, there is one ITU, not a UK version of it.
I was going to post this earlier but lost the link, fortunately it's been reposted over the weekend. A nice little summary for those who may have got TL;DR vibes from the full Coleago report.
