Ich glaube ich würde Mobile TV nutzen, um Sport-Highlights und Nachrichten zu schauen. Wenn ich momentan unterwegs bin im In- und Ausland kaufe ich mir oft den Bundesliga-Ticker bei meinem Netzbetreiber. Ich würde mir wohl sicher auch eine Konferenz oder eine Zusammenfassung kaufen. Filme würde ich wahrscheinlich nicht schauen... Allerdings hab ich auch nie gedacht, dass ich ein Handy benötigen würde... In ein paar Jahren wird Mobile TV eine Selbestverständlichkeit in jedem Handy sein so wie heutzutage jedes Handy eine Kamera besitzt ob man nun will oder nicht.
