NBC to deliver mobile TV
NBC is scheduled to start delivering TV shows, with such hits as "The Office" and "Heroes" via wireless phones using MobiTV’s service. Each show will start off at $1.99 per episode and be able to be wirelessly streamed over a 24 hour period. Unlike Apple’s iPod which allows downloads of TV shows to be stored and watched an unlimited amount of times, mobile customers won’t be able to store the show on their phone for later use, at least at first. MobiTV has been offering streaming content since 2003 and has 2 million subscribers in the United Kingdom, as well as North and South Americas. Watch for this to launch on Alltel, AT&T, and Sprint by Q2.
Great now I can watch Heroes as always wanted, from a tiny screen that has horrible resolution. Maybe if I hold my breath I can have JB donate his OQO2 to me so I can see it in a much larger and more beautiful screen. I enjoy the move forward in technology lets see when we are finally running a full fledge 3g network.
