It occurs to me I have not been keeping up with what the rest of the
world is doing in mobile, especially broadcast. Has any country
implemented a working land based mobile/hand-held broadcast TV
system yet, with any technology? If so, what are they using?
The most successful land-based mobile TV broadcast service is in
Japan, which is using the ISDB standard; the mobile service is called
1-seg. I believe that the government mandates that the mobile 1-Seg
service simulcasts the programming carried on the full bandwidth ISDB
service for fixed receivers. In February the installed base of phones
with 1-seg capabilities in Japan passed the 20 million mark - I can't
find anything more recent in terms of numbers.
The satellite based mobile TV service in Korea is also highly popular.

Craig
