O2 Says Customers Want Mobile TV on the Go

Pocket-Lint has a report up stating that 83% of the users that tested out a TV technology on their cell phones were satisfied with the service provided and on average watched TV on their mobiles for 3 hours a week.

BT believes it has demonstrated clear consumer demand for broadcast digital TV and radio with 38% of users in the trail saying they would switch networks to use it.

O2 said the trials had clearly shown that demand existed for mobile TV, and now want UK regulator Ofcom to release the UHF spectrum required for the service early.

I have watched some television on an iPod, and sometimes I need to squint for that. I would hate to see what television would be like on a smaller screen. I do think though that a radio service for cell phones, and data services are much more important, as they could provide much of the same content information and entertainment that users are looking for without having to put the screen three inches from your face to understand what you are watching.
