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.

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!!!!!!
It's a waste of money and resources.
