VC's are just throwing money at Mobile TV start ups. Just today, between Techcrunch, SiliconBeat, and GigaOm, I've read 3 stories about mobile TV. Veeker is just one example, GigaOm reports.
Ok, I just don't get it. Granted, I think it's a great idea, but I don't think it's deserve of the shower of VC money it's getting. I mean, the numbers are ridiculous (I don't have stats now, I'll try and post some later). And the big names are leading the way.
I really just don't see it as being that cool. I mean, the screens are tiny. Maybe TV on a laptop could be cool, or even a tablet PC, but most of these companies target straight up mobile phones. Maybe I'm severely lacking foresight and vision on this, but who wants to watch TV on a cell phone? I can think of certain circumstances (like the train to work this morning), but I just don't see the market matching the hype.
Most importantly, (this being the point of my post), what do you guys think?
I wouldn't discount watching tv on the phone. Having worked at MobiTV - they are over 2M subscribers, people paying between 5-15 bux a month to watch TV on their phone. Sure that's still a micro-fraction of the population but it's definitely growing - nobody will argue that.

There are three main pay by phone providers, and they are Boku, Payforit and ApplePay. You can learn more about these options in the next section, or, in the cases of Boku and Payforit, by reading through their dedicated pages on this site.
