"Cost, it seems, will be an important factor in mobile TV's success. "
I'd call that double-speak, Jeroen. Remember that everywhere in the world
it will compete with FTA broadcasting. Making TV more expensive than
cocaine is certainly a premium niche, but TV is a mass medium.
I will note that mobile TV COULD be a new domestic revenue source for the
BBC, but it would have to be outside the license fee for it to make any
sense on a revenue basis. And, the BBC's charter is "in play" these days,
with nobody putting down real money that the current structure will survive
the 2006 re-write.

Hello,
Found at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3880069.stm
This part was interesting:
"The TV function is fun and convenient but also very expensive. I only
watched about 45 minutes and it cost me about $50."
Duh !
Greetings,
-- Jeroen.
