Brits Like Watching Mobile TV... At Home
from the like-radio-but-with-pictures dept
The results of two mobile television trials in the UK have been released this week, and like previous efforts, they're being spun to raise the level of hype surrounding the services ever higher. There's plenty of reason to question the stats, but one number stands out in particular: the most popular place to use the service in one of the trials was at home. That alone seems to be enough to make the rest of the numbers suspect -- if a satellite TV provider gave a bunch of people free service, they'd probably watch it and say they loved it too. The other trial showed that people are more interested in digital radio than TV on their mobile phones, but never mind -- one analyst says that within 3 years, about 85% of the entire population of the UK will be watching TV on their phones, and paying $10 a month for it.

TV watching
When 85% of the UK population is watching TV on their cell phones, they will have to import even more "guest workers" in order to get anything done.

I thought that brits had to pay an annual fee per TV (to cover broadcasting costs).
may be that there is pent up demand for multiple sets that this model (VOD) changes?
