Abstract

Much of the work on Mobile TV focuses on the market opportunities and the technical provision of delivering broadcast video to mobile phones and portable media centres. In this talk Tim will pull those strands together by looking at the experiences that Mobile TV may offer, and how we think those experiences may be adopted and extended by users. Tim will look at some of the findings of various trials and talk about future research opportunities in this arena
