while this sounds awsome im not sure if every one eles in the world is just a touch behind in the time but recently and not so recently in australia my fave country has aounced tv on mobiles 1st through 3 mobile carrier offering a few cable channels such as news the next was optus who offered a few more channels but nothing to great more recently though telstra. although it could be argued the biggest mobile carrier in aus recently launched its 3g network offering the full foxtel channels on there mobiles these inculde all of australias 4 majour network channels plus all of the cable channels for somthing like 4$ aus per month. the picture is decent enough to watch and mostly worth it. this said telstra offering a wide variety of 3g sony erricsson mobiles im surprised that this could be called an annoucment as in my veiw this could have been an anoucment about 6months ago

Like James, I have noticed many networks offering mobile tv in my area (Australia), and in fact I have watched it before. It's not half bad, and there is already a lot of content.
Offered on Optus, Telstra and 3.

James:
You really need to work on writing better sentences. :)

A few years ago, Optus tried to launch mobile TV on the GSM network, but wasn't too popular and flopped. In the last month or so, Telstra launched the "Next G" network to replace the CDMA network. This network has more bandwidth than the standard 3G network, thus allowing TV channels to be streamed to mobiles on the NextG network. This service costs $12 a month, for 12 channels. As James said, the quality is decent, and streams well.

I'm just waiting for it to all be free. :)
