[Air-l] mobile taxi tv

[Ben Anderson]

someone may have posted this already and if so, my apologies, but  
Arqiva, Nokia and the mobile operator 02 are running a 'TV to  
mobiles' service trial in and around Oxford (UK).

Looks like there should be some reasonable analysis of usage etc:

"Mark Selby, Nokia's vice president, multimedia, said the trial was  
an important step in the roll-out of mobile broadcast TV.

"Consumer reaction and usage patterns will help the broadcast and  
mobile industries understand what content viewers want to see on this  
exciting new technology," he said. "

Lets hope it gets published :-)
