Verizon Wireless V CAST Mobile TV

REAL TV ON YOUR CELLPHONE

Mobile video has thus far been nearly unwatchable. But Qualcomm’s FLO TV technology, which powers the Verizon Wireless V CAST Mobile TV service (and comes soon to AT&T), broadcasts live shows at a fluid 30 frames per second, without delays or blockiness. Other mobile video services rely on one-to-one connections to each phone that quickly swamp cellular data networks. FLO TV sends out a single digital signal that—like regular TV—doesn’t degrade when more people tune in. $15 per month; verizonwireless.com
