Another lead for Japan over USA - Digital TV for Cell Phones

Wired News: Japan: Digital TV for Cell Phones:

Once again in the Mobile world, Japan and other parts of the world are leading over USA. Japan just introduced digital TV over public airwaves that can be received by cellphones with a special receiver. Unlike attempts in USA, this service is FREE and is broadcasting regular TV channels - ones that people are used to watching at home. Verizon's and Sprint's attempts to offer some limited video on demand lags far behind. Besides, why go for internet based streaming video when you can do it over the airwaves.
