PC Magazine - Philips Downsizes Mobile TV

PC Magazine - Philips Downsizes Mobile TV:
"Mobile TV is a big topic at CTIA, with much of the buzz around DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handhelds), a European-driven standard for broadcasting digital TV channels to phones. While companies such as MobiTV and SmartVideo already bring live TV to some phones and PDAs, they stream the shows over Internet connections, with a separate stream going to each user who demands it. Direct television broadcasts, on their own chunk of radio spectrum, are much cheaper to deliver to a mass audience because they don't clog up Internet pipes or a bunch of individual cellular connections."
