Mobile Television!!!!

Mobile Television

It is incredible how much television Americans watch. People in America watch TV even when there is nothing on that they want to watch. The fact that people want mobile television is even more amazing to me. Television seems to get in the way of everything else, so now it is going to be out in the community when people are driving cars and waiting inline for the bank. Cell phones are already enough distraction to everyone and mobile television will only be worse. It seems that Nokia is going to be one of the biggest competitors for the mobile television. Some things to take into question are if these televisions, being hooked up to the internet, will get cable or even better, HBO. It would not surprise me if things like this were available on these mobile television stations. It is going to be a huge marketing ploy, with mobile phones already having the ability to play mp3’s and have things like Apple’s ipod built into them. With this in mind, what are people willing to pay? It says that they are willing to pay 5 to 10 euros per month which may be something that they don’t realize adds up to a lot per year if you factor in your mobile charges. Will this really be something that catches on? It would not surprise me, although I would never want to have television on my cell phone and see it as a complete waste of time, resources and money, I think that it will go over really well in America.
