So said a compmy exec at the Reuters summit in Tokyo: NTT DoCoMo, Japan’s leading mobile carrier, is exploring the possibility of offering video content as it looks for new revenue to run over its data network…NTT DoCoMo has no immediate plans to go into actual creation of broadcasting content, but rather would use its network as a conduit to provide such programmes to its users.
He added that any programming content to be delivered over mobile phones would likely be more limited in length, since the half-hour or hour-long TV broadcasts could be hard on the eyes of people watching them on a small screen.
