Immobile TV?

Last month, we had a long discussion about the future of mobile TV and about whether or not people will actually want to be seen watching television in public. According to a new study from the U.K. [via], the latter question might be irrelevant to the former. Researchers were “surprised to find that people were using the mobile TV service at home. According to their results, 36% of people used the service mainly at home, compared to 23% at work or university and 28% while on the move.”

To which, one can only say, “Huh?” Perhaps Pat was right. People won’t feel comfortable getting a TV fix in public. They just won’t realize it until they get one of these babies home.
