Remember when Sega came out with the dreamcast and it blew other systems out of the water?
Technology is only as good as it's marketing team and when it comes to cellphones, the network that supports it.
Hopefully with actual TV companies getting behind this, it will become more than a novelty.

Yeah I remember. Sprint is always ahead of the game. Wi-max proves that! Not to mention Sprint speed, and a full line up of touch screen phones. Im glad I switched all my lines to Sprint. Sprint's Cdma network is the best for streaming media and they already have live channels. I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before actual broadcasters got in the game and add there own mobile service. I just hope this doesn't mean more commercials. This should be a cool feature either way. 😎

yes i agree 100 percent. It should just get better. Hopefully broadcasters will play nice with carriers to make it better asap.

Actually the original ATT Wireless was the first national carrier to offer a live TV service back in 2004, as well as the first carrier with 3G. They were ahead of their time, but this made them vulnerable.

You were close but 1 letter off. It was NTT as in NTT DoCoMo. September of 2001. It was worlds first 3G in Japan. Verizon became first in U.S. Sprint then surpassed everyone until recently.
