Welcome to MobileTVShop.com!
With an ever-growing appeal and increasing technological edge, mobile phones have managed to be our phones, faxes, computers, video cameras and TVs on the go! The mobile TV market is one of the latest markets to bridge cutting-edge mobile phone technology and modern society’s top entertainment medium — TV. Developed by Japan and South Korea, this new technology is now widely enjoyed in the United States.
Mobile TV is a feature most 3G carriers in the US (mostly AT&T and Verizon) offer to their customers. A free mobile tv model exists and pre paid mobile tv services are available giving you access to a number of TV channels which transmit live and recorded shows via satellite signal directly to your phone.
Mobile phone TV is regulated by the FCC which mandates that mobile TV (and mobile radio) be transmitted via proprietary systems, meaning that each cell phone network, cell phone manufacturer and broadcasting station would be allowed to design custom platforms that encrypt the signal as to allow access only to network users. Hence, even if most Windows mobile phones are able to have Windows mobile TV, customers can have access to mobile TV services only if they join a specific network, purchase TV access and get phones that are able to have this feature.
Since this market is in its infancy, future trends regarding how this technology will change the TV show business will be interesting to observe. Some experts predict that with the advent of mobile TV, there will be a higher demand for custom shows (mobisodes) for mobile phones, mobisodes have a shorter duration and different target audience, than regular TV.
MobileTVShop.com will offer access for customers who want to watch mobile TV via their network to various TV channels and custom TV shows. Cell phone carriers can offer shows from specific channels and also convert regular TV shows into mobile TV format so customers can enjoy their favorite TV show on the go.
