The article states that "most sports events are not broadcast OTA anymore," or 
words to that effect. So my question is, assuming that these portables are 
indeed a big hit, would that not put pressure on the sports franchises to get 
their games on OTA TV? At least on the M/H channels of OTA?

And to prevent the knee-jerk reaction about subscriber fees, why wouldn't the 
advertizers themselves want this (and therefore pay for it), ASSUMING that 
mobile OTA TV becomes a hit?

Or is that too much of a vicious cycle?
