Here's the latest from Bob Gonsett's CGC Newsletter #711 on MediaFlo. It
confirms Richard's points. Spectrum management along the border is always fun.
It also tends to confirm my assessment (I am not at liberty to disclose where I
heard this) that MediaFlo is just in demo mode.

MORE ON MEDIAFLO'S OPERATIONS IN SAN DIEGO
An individual familiar with MediaFLO's operations in San
Diego (CGC #710) reports that Black Mountain and San Miguel
Mountain are both on the air for the purpose of broadcasting to
cellphones (or the experimental phase thereof). San Miguel has
reportedly been on the air since November a year ago, while Black
Mountain was added a few weeks later according to the letter.
Mount Harvard, Denver and some Boston sites are said to be
completed already. We are also told that MediaFLO is being
looked at seriously in Europe.
While MediaFLO is authorized to use a number of different TV
channels in San Diego under an experimental grant, the company's
continued use of Channel 53 is in jeopardy. XHUPN-DT on Cerro
Bola is expected to light up on CH-53 soon, at which time MediaFLO
will presumably be required to extinguish its operations on that
channel. XHUPN is said to be internationally coordinated on
CH-53.
