However I'd guess the extra stuff will eventually be added to enhance those (by then) existing simulcast channels. A few experiments at first just to test the waters. And only if it is already shown folks like the mobile channels, assuming they work okay.
Does your Etherguide product have any special value added for mobile? - Tom John Willkie wrote:
Actually, it's hard to imagine that there will be -- at least initially -- much more than simulcast. M/H is great technology, but the equipment to send traffic maps, presentation graphics, and interactive services just doesn't exist, not is the connections between automation, traffic and business systems and "new media systems."

The first service from Media General will likely be a (downscaled) pass-through mobile simulcast of the primary channel.- Tom --quote--Do you have copyright clearance to simulcast? Do you have permission from the networks, the syndicators and the guilds to do that?We're in discussions right now with the networks, but we don't anticipate any problems as long as it's a pass-through simulcast service. It's an unaltered service being distributed through a mobile device the same way it's distributed to your living room TV. There's going to be a viewing lift for local broadcasters, the network and the syndicator as well.--------- John Willkie wrote:http://www.tvnewsday.com/articles/2009/01/20/daily.3/?page=1As promised, the Open Mobile Video Coalition, which comprises many of the country's largest TV station groups, has come up with a mobilebroadcasting----------------------------------------------------------------------system that will allow digital TV stations to broadcast a signal rugged enough to be received on cell phone, MP3 players, PDAs, laptops and other portable and mobile devices.But the trick is turning the new capability into a business..John WillkieYou can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings atFreeLists.org- By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.----------------------------------------------------------------------You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org- By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
