By BRUCE MEYERSON AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Verizon Wireless has signed on as the first cellular
carrier that will offer a broadcast TV network for mobile phones that
Qualcomm Inc. plans to launch in late 2006.
The companies declined to say Thursday what programming might be
featured over the MediaFLO system, which will be broadcast to mobile
phones over a different portion of the wireless spectrum than cellular
calls and data services.
Cellular operators in a handful of other countries already feature TV
from a separate wireless network, using technologies from Qualcomm
rivals such as Nokia Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. Mobile
users in South Korea, one of the most advanced markets, can now watch
broadcasts via both satellites and terrestrial towers like those that
will be used by Qualcomm.
