A dozen major players in the media broadcasting space have joined forces to offer a national mobile content service that serve programs to mobile DTV devices. The as-yet-unnamed group consists of Fox, NBC, Hearst Television, Gannett Broadcasting and Ion Television, the production company behind shows like Ghost Whisperer and Criminal Minds, among others content providers. The group will use broadcast spectrum from stations owned and operated by the various participants, and the group says it will reach nearly 150 million U.S. residents. Mobile content will include regular broadcasts, in addition to live and on-demand video, as well as local and national emergency broadcasts.

At this rate...

So at this rate we should see decent coverage by 2020. Look how slow Qualcomm's MobiTV is expanding. Yay this year a new city has coverage, next year we might add a new city! By the time MobiTV or anything of the like has decent coverage regular TV will be so high tech that MobiTV will be a waste of airspace.

I live in a major city and they have those standalone MobiTV devices at Target with a sign that says Currently No Coverage. Wow. 😕

Do a little market research... NOBODY CARES!!!!!!

Just stop it.

It's a waste of money and resources.
Agreed, if they really cared, create an HTML 5 version of their sites so we can watch the shows from Android, Palm and Apple devices.
