Ridiculous. How disconnected are these people? Nobody is watching TV on their tiny little phones.

MobiTV seems like a superfluous service to me. Most 3G phones can now pull streams directly from a source, via mobile friendly formats such as MPEG4 and 3GPP. All MobiTV has to offer are bundling deals for the carriers, but otherwise it is a classic middleman.

If you want basic cable and muzak on your phone, maybe MobiTV is interesting, but if you want to fetch a stream from your favorite radio station, all you need is a mobile data plan and a media capable handset.

Where MobiTV fits into the scheme of things in the long run, I don't know.

They will burn thru these $70MM like a good cigar to get to the end of nothing. MobiTV was a good idea for 2001 up to 2003 anything beyond that was pure wishful thinking........
