I foresee the birth of a new dotcom-esque era, complete with market
crash as the final straw.
We tried one of the Sprint 'cell TV' services a few weeks ago (not sure
if it was MobiTV) - the Java app took about 2 minutes to load itself,
and after that we were treated to what sounded like 6Khz audio paired
with 1 frame of video every 5 seconds. And yes, this was with full
signal strength.
