This one is still only in the very earliest stages, but it looks like MobiTV has taken advantage of the big National Association of Broadcasters Show in Vegas this week to show off a new mobile DTV service that it's developed in partnership with Sinclair and PBS, which it hopes will eventually find its way to a few interested cellular carriers. The service itself is a combination of free over-the-air DTV broadcasts (from PBS and the CW, at the moment) and subscription-based on-demand content, which would apparently be made available for a seven-day window and be delivered via mobile WiMAX. Unfortunately, there's no indication whatsoever of a potential roll-out, but it looks like MobiTV will be working hard during the next few days to woo some additional partners, so there's at least a slight chance that we could be hearing a few more details before the show wraps up later this week.[Via Phone Scoop]
Jeeez. Hasn't anyone flogged the NAB out of existence yet? Those dinosaurs put everybody through hell on the Sirius/XM merger and look...the world didn't come to an end after they merged. Congrats to MobiTV but don't patronize the NAB...they have joined the ranks of the RIAA and the MPAA.
Have to agree with you there, the NAB are scumbags.
So let me get this straight...people are actually paying for MobiTV offerings? How does one hear about MobiTV and remain clueless about the SlingBox and Orb?
Perfect, I think that is very peculiar from mobil TV, but not be safe semen breaking the common boundaries

What he said.
The Sirius/XM fail wasn't anyone]s fault besides their own, hopefully this thing works out for MobiTV. I like their service.
