WRAL/Capital Broadcasting Corp have been innovative on Digital TV for over 10 years now.]]>Jul 24th 2008 9:15AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/23/raleigh-ncs-wral-testing-mph-mobile-dtv-system/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/23/raleigh-ncs-wral-testing-mph-mobile-dtv-system/
That said, I fear this technology will not make it far, as WRAL will not get support from cellular carriers. Both AT&T and Verizon have their own MediaFLO MobileTV solutions, but neither has any coverage in NC. The cellular carriers are charging $13 & $15/month for this service. What incentive will they have to give up that revenue stream and throw more technology in their phones at a greater expense?

I hope it happens. I doubt it will ever become a standard thing like Bluetooth compatibility, but I think it would definitely be a nice option to be able to tune into local TV stations from my cellphone or smartphone without going through a wireless network or paying a premium for access.]]>Jul 24th 2008 9:44AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/23/raleigh-ncs-wral-testing-mph-mobile-dtv-system/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/23/raleigh-ncs-wral-testing-mph-mobile-dtv-system/Jul 24th 2008 6:54PM
