I would emend that to "you don't THINK that it is to serve a very small
niche audience."  I've been waiting for four years for ANY analysis or even
a hint that mobile/portable tv is anything but a passing fancy in a midnight
dream (with apologies to Steve Miller).

The closest thing to a hint is the mobile satellite -- not dtv -- receiver
now available as an option in the most expensive vehicle and largest vehicle
Cadillac makes.

Still sounds like a passing fancy.  Time will tell.
