Why Do People Want To Watch TV On A
Mobile Phone?

Why Do People Want To Watch TV On A
Mobile Phone? 02/19/2004 02:17 PM
I've been asking for a while now, why would anyone want to watch TV on their mobile phones as it reminds me of those portable TVs that were (barely) sold in the 80s and never went anywhere. Add to that, ridiculously slow frame rates, and you have to wonder why anyone bothers. However, Sprint is claiming that they have "steady demand" for their MobiTV offering, which lets people watch TV in slide-show fashion (between 1 and 2 frames per second). Peter Lewis, from Fortune Magazine, decided to test out the service and has a less than kind review of the service. After using it for a while, he says: "The hard part is answering the question, Why?" He concludes that the "experience is basically like watching a tiny, blurry slide show, with lousy sound." Sounds compelling. However, some people seem to be using it, and as the technology gets better, Sprint (and others) expect more people to be staring at their mobile phone screens all the time. I can maybe see it catching on for live events (sporting events, live reality TV possibly, major breaking news...) but other than that, I really do wonder if people will really go for this, or if it's just a fad (like the portable TVs in the 80s). Especially with the ability of TiVo to record shows that you want to see when you're out and about, there are fewer reasons why someone needs to be watching TV right this very second. Thus, the only remaining use is to kill time while you're waiting for something - and TV in its 30 minute increments isn't the greatest solution for trying to kill five minutes.

Do People Want A Mobile Phone Directory?

Do People Want A Mobile Phone Directory? 08/31/2004 03:37 PM
There's been a lot of talk over the last few months about the potential for a mobile phone directory. Many in the industry have been pushing for it, though, consumers fear for their privacy. Already sick of telemarketers on their landlines, they don't want to start receiving such calls on their mobile phones as well. Those supporting the directory want to set it up so that you can only request the number based on a name, rather than get your hands on the entire directory -- which, in theory, should eliminate the type of phonebook dialing that many telemarketers engage in. Of course, it just takes one screwup allowing the directory to get out there, and it won't matter any more. The other part of the debate has been over whether such a directory should be opt-in or opt-out. The folks behind it have done a very odd sort of agreement on this, suggesting they could make it "opt-in," but that you will have to pay if you don't want to be included. In other words, a new fee could simply start showing up on your bill, and the way to get rid of it, would be to give out your mobile phone number. The latest in this ongoing debate is a new study suggesting that 52% of users would opt-in to such a directory if it had some privacy protection (just what kind of protection is not described and could make a huge difference). 11% would opt-in even without privacy protection. Of course, the study was done by a company who provides consulting services for the directory assistance industry -- so you have to imagine they have some bias. A big new directory makes it more likely someone will hire them.

Phone exec: "People don't want open

Cory Doctorow: The COO of 3, a European 3G wireless company, has uttered one of the stupidest things ever said by a phone company executive (there's a field with some stiff competition!). In justifying his company's decision to censor the Internet services delivered over its wireless link (they're only allowing customers to access certain, selected services, rather than providing a fast wireless pipe that customers can use as they see fit), this loonytune has this to say:

'People don't want open access, that's not what our customers tell us they want,' he said. 'Anyone in their right mind who tries to do anything on the Internet with a screen that size has to be nuts.'

Syndication city
by Scott Rosenberg

I'm a late addition to a panel at the Supernova conference this Thursday, June 24: I'll be joining some very interesting people (Technorati's David Sifry; blogger, XML leader and now Sun engineer Tim Bray; and Paul Boutin of Wired and Slate). We're talking about syndication and RSS. The question the panel faces: "Is there more to syndication than reading 300 blogs at once?" What interesting, useful applications for RSS and RSS-like tools are out there or just around the corner?

I've got my own answer(s), but in the decentralized spirit of the conference, I'll open the floor here in comments, and present anything you folks suggest, too.

[Scott Rosenberg]

I have five questions/answers for Scott - I hope he picks me.....

1. How will the evolution of new kinds of micro-content, like Reviews, Events and music playlists - effect the existing blogosphere? A: it will enhance it, making it not onyl richer and deeper, but also make it more relevant to average people - who don't want or feel the need to blog, but who have opinions on movies, books and reataurants.

2. How will FOAF interconnect entire social networks, on-line communities and blogging tool userbases together? A: by enabling digital IDs that encompass multiple presences, end-users will be able to move freely from system to system without having to recreate their strong ties every time.

3. Finally - Salon was one of the first content sites to offer it's readership Blogs. Now that the AlwaysOn Network is also offering social networking - will Salon also offer social networking? I say - yes.

I went to see the flick "The Day After Tomorrow". Hell, I like being entertained: I went to see it on IMAX. The cinematic effects were edge-of-my-seat thrilling. Now, I'm not a full-blown tree hugger, but I like social messages that stimulate my mind (and hopefully, someone else's). Granted, the next Ice Age is not arriving within 24 hours, but it's developing. In the 27 MAY post at [ChaosZone], we're reminded of critical changes to ocean currents and the largest piece of ice to recently break off Antarctica. It's Mother Nature in a regular cycle seeking balance. As the film ended and the credits rolled, I was half-tempted to shout into the audience: "Who's driving a full-sized SUV and not car pooling?".
