TV on a phone? Why not?
said by TKJunkMail  :The technology here is interesting, but who wants to watch remote TV over a phone?? Sports fans come to mind. After missing some exciting bowl games over the last few days, I almost wish that I was able to watch them over phone or PDA...
Kids on long trips too. Since the trend lately "seems to be sedate the little ones with video" (LCD screens in the SUV, anyone?), it's seems readonable that someone would offer a vector for live TV as well as DVDs.
While this would offer little competition to the mobile phone operators, the idea of non-stop traffic on their bandwidth limited infrastructure means that the wireless companies will look for a way to shut off this type of traffic. Net neutrality be damned.
No surprise there. VZ already restricts their "unlimited" EVDO service. Who's to think that they'll allow streaming video over their networks, especially since it's a service in direct competition to their anemic VCast offering?
