…but probably not in the way you’re thinking…

Industry adviser Analysys Mason has just produced a report called “Critical Ingredients of Mobile TV” - and states that there are alternatives (see, I bet you thought they were implying Mobile TV could be done over GPRS or similar!) to 3G networks - apparently like femtocells and WLAN. They also state that operators should bear in mind sideloading…

The report's author, Dr. Alastair Brydon, gives the iPhone as an example of Mobile TV without the need for 3G - I am not even going to comment on that one, I'll leave it to our readers

Other findings from the report are:

  • DVB-H trials have shown significant indoor usage of mobile Television services
  • Sideloading can be a highly effective way of delivering content that is not time-critical
  • Operators that are unable to deploy broadcasting networks could potentially deliver a compelling proposition without filling up the capacity of their 3G networks

So, readers, what do you make of those insights…..?
