So said Qualcomm, in its Q2 earnings call yesterday…says Qcom about its mobile TV service/standard: “MediaFLO USA continues to move towards the launch of commercial service. Its broadcast operations center and network operations center are now up and running at MediaFLO USA’s headquarters in San Diego. Currently, MediaFLO USA’s facilities are being used for service trials and preparing for Verizon Wireless’ launch of MediaFLO.”
Also this about progress outside U.S.: “Outside of the United States, we continue to see tremendous interest in FLO technology. In May, QUALCOMM and British Sky Broadcasting signed a nonbinding letter of intent to conduct the first technical trials of MediaFLO technology in the UK. Beginning this summer, the trial will feature ten channels of BSkyB content and a small number of non-commercial devices provided by QUALCOMM. The BSkyB technical trial is the first of what we expect to be a number of FLO technology trials in Europe and in other parts of the world. In addition to our trial agreement with BSkyB, QUALCOMM and KDDI have formed a joint venture to explore the deployment of MediaFLO services in Japan.”
