[opendtv] Re: Droid Phone

There will 'soon' be "an app for that" (ATSC Mobile DTV), but on a different network. It will be part of the Washington/Baltimore Consumer trial that OMVC is coordinating. The device is quite cool!

Saw an add yesterday that states "iDon't" and "Droid Does", referring to the to-be-released phone from Verizon. I looked at the website (droiddoes.com) but one notable "don't do" is ATSC M/H. But they claim 10000+ apps so maybe there is "an app for that"?

Sorry, no hardware support for that...
I will also anxiously await developments in the 700 MHz spectrum. I don't see how deploying 6 MHz MPH channels is going to provide the payback necessary to earn a decent ROI on the cost of the 700 MHz spectrum. And one must question why, when there is such a push for MORE SPECTRUM, that the stuff they just bought WOULD NOT be used for mobile broadband.
