Mobile TV: Separating hype from reality
Watching broadcast TV on your mobile phone is a promising notion and one that has been a market reality since 2005, when the medium was first introduced in South Korea. Despite its potential, the sector has been impeded by numerous hurdles, ranging from a general lack of mobile TV standardization to user experience issues and, though expanding, remains somewhat of a digital media red herring. Though it has achieved widespread usage in Japan and Korea, mobile TV users are few and far between in the developed Western world, and the sector has not lived up to its hype. When, if ever, will mobile TV become a viable and profitable source of revenue?
