The BBC has announced a trial of mobile television services on the Orange, Vodafone and 3 networks in the UK. It's terrific they are exploring new areas but this is hardly something a public service broadcaster should be doing in today's media climate.
The 3G viewing experience in the UK is still poor and little used by the general public, and until broadband is readily available on phones and prices for mobile internet access come down (or mobile operators decide to stop confusing consumers), it will remain so. So why a public service broadcaster should foray into this area is beyond me. For my mind, they are a commercial hypocrite, this is the act of a company with public service pretensions, and example of how grossly over-funded they are.
