Mobile Video - 3G Comes As a Big Push
Kaustubh Kashyap, head product management, mLifestyle, Comviva, forecasts that revenues from mobile video will nearly grow three folds to reach $18.2 billion by the end of 2013, compared $6.7 billion at end of 2008, worldwide.
The advent of 3G networks worldwide is driving mobile video services such as mobile TV and video SMS.
Mobile TV could be streamed over the mobile network or a proprietary network. The mobile network must be 2.5G or 3G. Mobile-TV standards include DVB-H, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) and MediaFLO.
However, mobile-TV poses challenges for handset manufacturers and content providers alike. To be feasible, it requires high processing power, low power consumption (improved battery life), large memory for long hours of TV viewing and improved LCD touch screens will be preferred by the users but at the same time, all these should not make the handset very bulky. iPhone's growing popularity is a case in point.
Content providers need to develop the content specifically tailored for mobile TVs, such as mobile episodes of popular shows which are relatively shorter in length. China Telecom has rolled out high end 3G enabled video streaming services across China.
Its subscribers now have access to richer mobile applications such as live mobile TV, video on demand and download, thanks to the 3G CDMA EVDO video streaming service delivered by Nokia Siemens Networks.
Offering a range of live and on demand mobile TV channels to include local and international news, sports, music and movies.
It is a good idea to go through latest reviews before you buy new iPhone.

How to Trace an Unknown Call - The Quickest and Easiest Way to Trace Any Unknown Call!
If you are unsure how to identify and locate unknown calls, it is a very easy thing to do and the best method to use depends on the type of telephone number that called you. So, if you are looking for the easiest way to trace an unknown call, all you have to do is keep reading the rest of this article to learn how to get it done.
How To Trace an Unknown Call - The Best Methods
Listed Landline Calls
If the type of number that you looking to identify happened to come from a listed landline number, the quickest and easiest way to track this number is to get on the website of the White Pages or any other free telephone directory.
Since these numbers are a matter of public information, this information will never carry a charge and you can learn the caller's name and address within a matter of moments.
Wireless Numbers
If the number you are searching happens to come from a cell phone number, you will no longer be able to get your answers from the White Pages or any other free directory. This is because wireless numbers are NOT a matter of public information.
The identifying information behind cell phone numbers will have to purchased because the only way the major wireless carriers that own this information release the name, address, and other pertinent information connected to cell phone numbers is by selling it.
And they don't sell this information directly to the public via their own directories. Instead, they lease the most up-to-date information to third party data brokers. These brokers are known as "reverse cell phone directories".
In return for a few dollars, you can have your hands on a very extensive list of personal details in connection with over 90% of the wireless numbers that exist within the entire country.
In addition to being able to provide results reports for wireless numbers, these directories also provide the same reports for the following types of telephone numbers:
• VoIP
• Fax
• Unlisted/Unpublished Numbers
Finally, these directories also carry the same information for listed landline numbers found in any free directory. So, the next time you are looking to trace an unknown call, you now have a resource available that is able to provide owner details for every type of telephone number there is.

Homeland Security Chief Seeks FM in Mobile Devices
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski are encouraging the adoption of FM radio tuners in mobile phone handsets. A letter, signed by a bipartisan group of 60 House lawmakers, notes that radio's emergency alert system is "a proven, reliable service," and urges the FCC and DHS to "consider extending American's access to radio EAS information via mobile phone handsets."
"The Warning Alert and Response Network ("WARN") Act of 2006 authorized the commercial mobile telephone industry to create an emergency alerting system. It is our understanding that incorporating FM radio tuners in mobile phones could help achieve this goal," the letter stated.
The letter continued, "There are well over seven hundred million cell phones with FM radios globally. Currently, only a handful of FM radio enabled cell phones are in the U.S. market. There is no excuse for American consumers' access to advanced technology to lag behind that available worldwide."
The letter is encouraging both DHS and FCC to consider extending Americans' access to radio EAS information via mobile phone handsets. "Everyone involved, including the American public and public safety officials, as well as the mobile phone and broadcasting industries, stands to benefit," the letter concluded. (11-09-09)
