I was at an incentive auction discussion earlier in the week where it was suggested that the broadcasters see a rosy future with ATSC beaming to mobile, but there is still work to be done.They might wish, after many years there has been little take up of the various systems created to do this (we've spent quite some time working on the standards). Nobody wanted to pay for it to be in handsets, other features were seen as more important uses of the space/power. The next try is LTE Broadcast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMBMS
