New Mobile TV Coming After DTV Transition

Now that all that analog TV bandwidth has been freed up we can't wait to start seeing all the new services taking advantage of it. One service that has been waiting in the wings is FLO TV also known as MediaFLO. It's a broadcast system the uses some of the UHF spectrum to send video and other data to mobile (and stationary devices). In other words, it can broadcast TV to your cell phone without using the cellular networks. For that reason we'll probably only see it in cities but the video is high quality and it is less susceptible to interruptions. This technology has been around for a while. Many countries have their own version like Europe's DVB-H. Verizon and AT&T are expected to start expanding the service to many major metropolitan areas across the country.
