BroadcastEngineering had a nice update on the status of mobile DTV. I'm sorry but it is still hard for me to think of mobile DTV as anything but a science experiment. I guess I'd think that about any new technology that requires a dongle. Once the smartphones and tablets come mobile DTV enabled - then that's when you know the service has traction.
The big question is whether it is better to pick up live wireless signals like mobile DTV or streamed signals via a company like Aereo. In a perfect world both would be available. You could pick up the mobile DTV signal when in range and then switch over to the streamed version when you are out of range but still with Internet access. Let's hope common sense prevails - and it does so without having to use a dongle.
