What is "cost"? Is it patent licensing? Is it channel bandwidth requirements? Is it processing power?
I'm trying to think of other things that could drive up cost in chosing a broadcast TV standard. I don't think it would be processing power at least ont he reciever if it works on cell phones.
It's too bad that we didn't just come up with a standard of broadcasting over IP, and essentially have standardized file or stream formats, and then convert digital TV to large network broadcast media. Then our TVs would essentially be reciving a digital file and displaying it, and it wouldn't matter if it was getting it over the air or over an RF cable, or over some other IP network.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
