Authored by Mark Hefflinger on January 9, 2006 - 4:47am.
San Francisco - CNET News.com on Monday reported on two technology firms building "supercharged" mobile TV networks, Qualcomm's MediaFlo and Crown Castle International's Modeo. These "multicast" networks function more like traditional TV, transmitting signals once to many devices, as opposed to "unicast" networks from Sprint, Verizon and Cingular that provide individual transmissions to each mobile phone. MediaFlo will spend $800 million to build a nationwide mobile TV network in five years, while Modeo plans to spend $500 million to reach the top 30 U.S. markets in two years. ABI Research estimates that the mobile TV equipment and services market will reach $27 billion by 2010.
