[opendtv] Re: Frames Per Second of 720P

The TV I mentioned watching on my Sprint cell phone was on a phone made by HTC. They are in the business of making mobile phone/computers, not selling cell service. 

So they have lots of incentive to add desirable features.

The fact is that in Europe they are selling cell phones that
receive DVB-T and free OTA DTV today.


Be that as it may, DVB-H reception on cell phones took some doing. Let alone 
low-power, typically single-tall-stick DVB-T, whose coverage is computed based 
on 10 meter (30') high, outdoor receive antennas.

But I'll ask you what I asked John Shutt, then. If FOTA TV receivers 
incorporated in cell phones are so successfully built in Europe, how come it's 
like pulling teeth here?

Here is John's position on the matter, which is unrelated to modulation:

"However, if it is a free service, what incentive do cell phone providers have in 
including the tuner in handsets? Do they provide AM/FM tuners now? No. Why did they start 
putting in cameras? Because of consumer demand? NO, because of data transmission fees 
when you send a picture to someone else. If there is no subscription, there is no service 
in a cell phone."

Transfer the argument to Europe. Can you answer what would make Europe so 
different?
