In short, the article says that TV broadcast to mobile phones, which was
the hottest thing a few years ago, has not created much demand anywhere
in the world.
I think they're talking about actual TV broadcast direct to the cell
phone, but perhaps this includes TV broadcasts via the cell provider's
own network too.
I wonder why?
Could it have something to do with:
1. The fact that broadcasting is losing its OTA audience throughout the world?
2. Consumers do not want to pay for another walled garden with the
same crappy content they get at home?
Or could it be that there are better alternatives?

Craig
