Windows Mobile Louisville

Qualcomm subsidiary FLO TV says it will begin expanding its mobile TV service this weekend, since analog TV broadcasts have ceased in the United States. The company also says it is working with OEMs to provide tools and support for integrating receivers into Windows Mobile phones.The FLO TV service broadcasts multiple live and time-shifted digital television channels to phones and other mobile devices using the 716MHz to 712MHz spectrum, equivalent to analog UHF TV Channel 55, according to Qualcomm.

Because of interference in some locations from Channel 55 or adjacent stations, FLO TV was only available in 19 markets around the country, much to Qualcomm’s chagrin. Thanks to the DTV switch, however, fifteen new FLO TV markets will go live this weekend, the company says, including Boston, Houston, Miami, and San Francisco. It’s said service will also be expanded in existing markets such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC. (more…)
