And let's keep in mind that for mobile reception it is not so easy to
bypass local broadcasters as it is to just put the channel on cable
directly. Though delivering over Internet mobile broadband would also

I just googled for local TV net news for Gainesville FL and found 2
sites but couldn't make either work, probably due to my own paranoid
browser settings. But it's coming, just like Internet weather info
which is so common now.
