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.
