Samsung and LG have both recently announced competing technologies for local mobile TV on mobile phones. Unlike the MediaFLO national network that uses dedicated spectrum and is run by Qualcomm, these new technologies are designed to let local TV stations in the US use their "leftover" digital TV radio spectrum to broadcast TV directly to mobile phones. The technology will therefore provide local news, weather and sports content not available from MediaFLO. Samsung's technology is called A-VSB, while LG's proposed alternative is dubbed MPH.
