    Is Mobile TV nothing but a vendor conspiracy to get wireless operators/carriers to constantly upgrade networks?

    Can Mobile TV be delivered over pre-3G networks?

    Have Nokia and Ericsson hi-jacked the industry and done more harm than good?

    The feature article of Mobile Europe's October edition - "Power to the People" by Monte Silver seems to say so.

    I tried Mobi-TV, and Mobi-Radio, and got too sick of not being able to see or hear anything. It was almost as bad as trying to get my crappy dial up at home to load songs, and videos.

    Yeah MobiTV was pretty bad on my 610 as well, edge supports enough speed to where with the right codecs it would be plausible but with the lack of 3g speed it's very unlikely. I have found a resource though for mobile radio, at least on PPC's that have a supporting media player (WMP for WM5 works only one I can vouch for)
