Qualcomm demonstrated a new chipset that can support both its own MediaFLO technology, as well as the International Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (International ISDB-T) mobile TV standards on a single chip. International ISDB-T is a free-to-air mobile TV technology used in countries such as Japan and Brazil. It allows mobile handsets to capture free TV signals. Qualcomm believes supporting the two mobile TV standards on a single chip will allow operators to offer a mix of free and for-pay mobile TV services.

That's cool

It would be like regular T.V... You would have the free channels, and if you wanted, you could subscribe to the cable channels. Even if this technology is set in place, I'm pretty sure VZW would manipulate it so you would still have to pay for the free channels.
