Taking hold of TV: learning from the literature

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we report the findings of a literature review into the experience of and the prospects for mobile TV, in particular multimedia experiences enabled over mobile phone-type devices and networks. The review shows that there will be a niche market for broadcast 'TV content' but that, more interestingly, 'mobile TV' might consist of a new content genre, affording new forms of shared, coproximate experiences.
