Broadcasting (literally) live from Las Vegas, MobiTV is demonstrating its highly interactive mobile television solutions on a broadcast network as part of the A-VSB Initiative. With broadcasters switching to a digital transmission protocol on February 17, 2009, MobiTV, along with Samsung, SES Americom, Rhode & Schwarz, and Nokia Seimens Network, is proposing a standard that enables broadcasters to add local transmission to mobile quickly and easily. In a sense, with the devices coming out in 2009, you'll be able to get local TV delivered "over-the-air" along with providing some amazing enhanced functionality.
