Hmmmm .... looks like they are saying exactly what I have
been saying about portable DVB ... "huge cities only". It
will be fun to see if they can come up with a satellite
system that actually delivers .... robustly .... video to
the non-huge-cities from satellite. XM and Sirius have
a hard enough time deliverin radio, and probably don't
get very far indoors in any case.
