Mobile satellite broadcasting ready for launch

Companies in Japan and Korea get ready to launch a new satellite broadcasting service that can send video and audio directly to devices such as mobile telephones, handheld terminals and in-car receivers.

The big question about this is of course, where do people watch TV on their mobile phones? It might be possible to see a business model in places like Japan, where commuting by train is time intensive.

Still it is a start, and with interactivity, great content, better screen resolutions and slightly bigger screens, certain segments in the population might take up the function.
