  • t is, however, possible that users of 3G mobile services have just not yet warmed to the idea of watching TV on their mobiles. Of the BBC’s mobile viewership 24% came from Orange and 51% from T-mobile in the month of February.
  • Be that as it may, it will be difficult to convince the BBC Trust, to add mobile to the list of distribution channels for its TV and radio programs. The TV channels in consideration are BBC One, Two, and Three, and BBC News 24; The radio channels are Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 6Music, 7, Asian, and 1xtra.
  • The BBC, however, has stated that “the overall cost of delivering this proposal will not be significant.” This may be because they do not plan to add any new programs specially made for mobile viewing, but will reschedule existing content to better suit customer needs.
