The long wait for AT&T's new mobile TV service, appropriately dubbed "AT&T Mobile TV," will soon come to an end. As expected, the new AT&T Mobile TV service is set to launch on May 4 (tomorrow) with 10 full-streaming TV channels. But, there's a catch. You have to have an AT&T cellphone equipped with Qualcomm's [...]

From previous posts, you might know that I am always quite optimistic about Mobile TV - well a report from In-stat is a real humdinger in terms of good and bad news - the good being that the M-TV market could be worth $12bn in 2012, the bad being that the fragmented standards are here [...]

 The names of the nine applicants for the L-Band spectrum in the UK have now been made public - O2, and (an offshoot of) Qualcomm are in there, making us wonder not very much about what they might be planning…I'll give you a clue….Broadcast Mobile TV! For those of you not up on your radio frequencies: L-Band [...]

It's been a long time coming and after more delays than we have patience for, AT&T may finally be launching their Mobile TV service on May 4. With the Samsung Access ready to rock and roll with AT&T's MediFLO-powered Mobile TV service, the new service can't launch fast enough. Word on the street has AT&T launching [...]

An industry expert has said that the 2012 games will "do for mobile TV what the Coronation did for early television" - so says Phil Lehmann, senior product manager of T-Mobile's mobile TV division. In the meanwhile, MNOs are deciding which Mobile TV techology to put their money and time behind. Part of that technology decision [...]

So, the AT&T deal with Qualcomm to bring the mobile TV technology MediaFLO to its stable of mobile phones (including a few Nokia handsets) didn’t exactly help calm the Nokia-Qualcomm battle this year. In fact, the incessant quarreling was probably the reason that AT&T had to delay launching its MediaFLO service until next year. We’re hearing from AT&T that they are working to bring MediaFLO “as soon as possible” in 2008. The network-tests are reportedly going very, very well” and AT&T wants to “make sure the user experience is absolutely optimal” before they go live with the mobile TV service. So, network test’s are going honky-dory but AT&T wants to delay the launch of MediaFLO? Sounds like the hold-up might have more to do with Qualcomm and Nokia’s bitter-feelings than AT&T’s desire to ensure “absolutely optimal” performance. You see, Nokia is pushing DVB-H as the mobile TV standard of choice, but AT&T’s MediaFLO deal with Qualcomm will require Nokia to do more business with Qualcomm - something we’re sure Nokia is loath to doing. In any case, AT&T’s MediaFLO-based mobile TV offering will be pretty much on par with Verizon Wireless’s VCAST TV service (which has been up and running for, like, ever). Unfortunately, we’re also hearing that AT&T’s prmoise of “advanced MediaFLO capabilities” may not make the cut. Datecasting and music features aren’t in the cards for AT&T’s MediaFLO, sorry.
