perhaps cable TV can be implemented into something like wifi, with hotspots and stuff like that. say on the train, cafes, your house, or places where people frequently go to. because you don't usualy watch TV while walking on the street right? well maybe no to often, but what I said would be ideal for me. and better if free

Personally I hope it is implemented via DVB-H (TV signal picked up by handset). Here in NZ we have 3 major TV networks, all of them available on the 1 and only Pay TV network - Sky TV.
Mobile TV would have to come via Sky TV or else I'd have to have multple subcriptions - one for each TV network.
If we have to wait for Cellular network providers to bring us Mobile TV, we'll be waiting a long time for a very weak service.
First they need to find the capacity on thier network, then they need to enter into agreements with TV networks for content (if they haven't already) and the content will be limited to what THEY think will sell.
Plus it will only be available in 3G reception areas and may require Hi-Speed 3G (not yet available in all markets like NZ).
Miles Flint indicated no preference for which technology SE would use.
I think it's therefore is up to the TV / Cellular networks to see who can get thier act together first.
DVB-H prices should be no different to current Pay TV subscription prices, I would hope.
Cellular Data prices would make Mobile TV too expensive for me.

Cellphones will no longer be known for only its basic functions. Say 'I have a phone.' The next query will be, 'What all does it have?'

as long as they don't go too mad with this tv stuff, because i don't know about anyone else but i'm not a fan of all these mobile tv thing, so i hope this doesn't mean SE will take their attention away from normal 'advanced' phones, like the K, P and W series or whatever...
Totally agree.

You don't necessarily need a 3G phone to pick up TV. There have been recent trials by BT (British Telecom) using a format that doesn't involve streaming but which uses part of the current digital radio spectrum to pick up TV channels. This uses less data transfer and thus uses battery life more efficiently. It will be big in 2006/2007 and I think its great. There is a thread here somewhere. (Wap).

Perhaps
will install all 3 technologies (DVB-H, MBMS and DMB digital radio) into thier handsets and allow for different solutions in different regions.
And yes, perhaps
plans to add a Wega range to it's Cybershot and Walkman branded handsets?
I'd like the Network to allow a program to remain available for up to a week so that if you miss it or it clashes with another show you can watch it later.

TV over mobile phones is something I have been evaluating as part of my job for the last three months.
The current situation is this, all the big players are falling over each other to secure the “Mobile TV Rights" to a wide range of sports, lifestyle & hobbyist events.
Some TV networks are so worried by the potential of mobile TV that they will no longer take your regular programming unless you agree to "assign" them the Mobile Rights to your programming, this typically encompasses “TV for Mobile” and “Multi Media” DVB-H, DMB, SMS & MMS. However the good news is that with the “Rights Holders” becoming more and more aware of the value of their “Mobile Rights” this “strategy” is proving to be a little more difficult to execute than the TV companys would like!
I am not remotely surprised that about the SE announcement to put a TV in every phone, the network providers are putting them under enormous pressure to deliver devices that will allow them to compete with their competitors in the great “Land Grab” that is Mobile TV customers.
The phone manufacturers will have little choice but to really start developing DVB-H and similar technologies very quickly, I just hope they are working just as hard on battery technology.
The up side for us consumers is the fact that we will get bigger & better screens in the next generation of phones and minature projection and virtual interface systems will arrive a lot sooner than originally planned.
There are huge sums of money at stake in the push to attract subscribers and “Upsell” them to the 3G network TV Data & lifestyle services wich have proven to be very popular with the public in almost every area they have been piloted, all of which is being driven by the need to recoup the cost of buying the 3G licences in the first place.

Streaming TV is already very real, and AFAIK works in every 3G phone out there. Here in Sweden we have a number of streaming channels.
The problem is that the 3G networks won't be able to handle everyone streaming at the same time. The solution to this is DVB-H. The problem with DVB-H is that it requires spectrum, i.e. it'll take a while before it's up and running.
