No your conclusion from your observation is invalid. ITV Digital did not
go bankrupt because it was not popular.
The appeal of pay TV in the UKofGB&NI is demonstrated by the millions who
pay B$kyB up to GBP 400 per year or more for the privilege of watching
programs which used to be available by terrestrial broadcasters as well

They must have found out that DAB was shit on day 1, then they spent the
next few years seeing if they could improve it, and they've just realised
that it's inherently shit so they've called it a day.

That's what I said...it just means speeds go up, and after some time
more devices will be using more speed, benefiting others.
I'm not surprised. All over Europe networks will soon be able to choose
the technology thay want to use on their assigned frequencies.
It doesn't really matter. It means mobile IP-based communication. You

I think it will become possible to get better deals than that. Bearing
in mind that it is a very competitive market, mobile operators will want
to make their packages as attractive as reasonably possible.
At the moment, they are limited in what they can offer, using 3G
technology, and also since they haven't finished building out the

Thanks.
(Seems the ability to link to a given moment in a programme is only on
iPlayer TV, not iPlayer radio. Quite an omission!)

Eye-tracked motion blur is a problem with most modern displays -
whether they're displaying HD or SD.
It's not present in the signal though. You can look at individual
frames, or (shock) watch the video on a CRT to verify that.
Cheers,
David.

Due to the high cost of new digital infrastructure, it is important to find

Moving from HSDPA 7,2 Mbps to 14,4 Mbps technology does not at all mean
that you double the total capacity of your cell.
3G works with multiple modulation-scemes depending on the quality of the
radio-link (QPSK, QAM-4, QAM-16, ...). This means that if you are closer

You might have seen a TV where the use of special imaging technology

Mobile internet might not be developing as fast as some of the
manufacturers of mobile technology are claiming, fact is that is is
developing rapidly. KPN in the Netherlands has recently started to roll
out an upgrade to 14,4 Mbps (from 7,2) on its HSDPA network. This is per

I had enough on my plate just trying to read a fraction of the blogs and
comments on the BBC Internet blog about the HD PQ thing! :-)
Yeah, there's no doubt about that - the quote she made on Points of View
about bit rate proved that on its own, and there are quite a few other
comments on blogs she's written that are equally dishonest.
