Qualcomm isn't going to let the European Commission block them out of the mobile Television market just because the EU is officially backing DVB-H mobile TV standards. To that end, Qualcomm has just snatched up a 40Mhz swath of L-Band spectrum in the UK for $16.3 million. The buy will apparently let Qualcomm test their MediaFLO network in the UK in hopes of proving to the general public (and government regulators) that MediaFLO can hang with the DVB-H standard.
The push to bring MediaFLO to the UK is significant, even though no where near what Qualcomm is investing in to the US mobile TV market. Qualcomm is putting up $800 million to build out their MediaFLO network in The States, with Verizon Wireless and AT&T on-board to use the mobile Television network.
Still, the buy of spectrum solely for MediaFLO could help Qualcomm bring MediaFLO to the forefront of mobile Television service in the UK. “Could” being the operative word here.
“Acquiring this spectrum will enable us to develop, test and explore a variety of innovative wireless services and technologies that’ll benefit European consumers and the wireless industry as a whole,” stated Andrew Gilbert, executive VP for Qualcomm.

Windows Mobile Live Search fans will be glad to hear that Microsoft has just updated their popular Live Search application with expanded features and Windows Mobile 6.1 support. Live Search should be installed on all Windows Mobile phones, in my thought. So it's good to see that WM6.1 is now fully compatible with the integrated search tool.
The new Windows Live Search takes the tried and true local search, maps, driving directions, traffic info, gas prices, and movie times formula and has added:
- weather information
- Web search
- an archived search function
- Windows Mobile 6.1 compatiblility
- Bluetooth headset support speech-recognition
Grab your copy of the new Windows Live Search from http://wls.live.com.

While South Korean companies like Samsung enjoy all the good graces of the South Korean government, outsiders have typically had a hard time breaking into their market due to regulations governing the entry of foreign manufacturers. For example, RIM has been shut out from the South Korean market, leaving push-email junkies in the country unable to get a taste of the CrackBerry craze that's swept up corporate types around the globe.
Well, following RIM CEO Jim Balsillie's recent visit to South Korea's Organization on Economic Cooperation and Development's Ministerial Meeting on the Future World wide web Economy, the South Korean government has relaxed its stance on RIM's presence in the country. RIM has been granted entry to the high-tech market via corporate BlackBerry sales. That means RIM will be, for the first time, granted to sell corporate fleets of BlackBerry handsets and service to businesses looking to keep their workforce continuously update and in the loop with real-time push email. It should be interesting to see how well RIM does in South Korea, given that most companies don't issue mobile phones to their employees. Perhaps the BlackBerry craze will change all that.
There won't be any sales to individuals, but if your South Korean company's IT department sees fit, you can grab a BlackBerry sometime around July or August. Welcome to the BlackBerry craze, South Korea.
