AT&T Set to Offer Live Video to Cellphones

box_products_tech_intro.jpg AT&T in May plans to begin offering a long-awaited mobile-TV service, using a Qualcomm Inc. network called MediaFlo that broadcasts live video to cellphones. The WSJ reports

MediaFlo's networ sends TV programming to cellphones, using frequencies associated with a conventional TV channel that broadcasters must vacate as they shift to digital TV transmission.

Until a federal deadline for the shift -- now set for February 2009 -- MediaFlo has largely been setting up in cities where the channel was vacant, or in some cases has persuaded broadcasters to move early."
