Telefonica Movil in Chile offers TV on camera phones
Chile gets into the Mobile TV frenzy. Alan Reiter reports via PicturePhoning.com, Telefonica Movil in Chile offers TV on camera phones. It costs 1 cent per Kb for downloaded video and half-cent for streaming media. This is cheaper than my data plan with NEXTEL (which I upgraded yesterday to a 10MB data plan yesterday), but I've learnt from experience that these Kbs add up faster than you know it..... I've only been billed $10 extra last month, inspite of my semi-frugal data usage - but hearing about people like Joi Ito's experience (with his $3500 bill), I wouldn't be surprised if more people get unbearable bills due to streaming media. Certainly the pricing needs to be worked out - especially ppl like Telefonica Movil who provides this service over their *slow* GSM-GPRS network.
PS: For all you multimedia folks out there, the streams are sent using the RealONE format.
