Assuming that you are using multicast/broadcast, you already have a cellular radio in these devices. Why not have data connectivity so you can know for sure the software has been reliably updated each machine can update its software as per the need.Zahid Ghadialyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618208626682295272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834236085756782640.post-90910139021233134202014-01-23T16:43:04.836+00:002014-01-23T16:43:04.836+00:00What is your opinion regarding this technology for...What is your opinion regarding this technology for mass file transfer? I have several customers in the retail and lottery machine space that have migrated from satellite. They miss the mutlicast properties of satellite with regard to propagating file updates to multiple endpoints. We have been waiting for celluar based multicast for many years as a means of replicating this feature. Is there a fit for eMBMS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834236085756782640.post-28464686413036434832014-01-11T08:27:49.015+00:002014-01-11T08:27:49.015+00:00You're right.

The reason it'll fail again is because user behaviour tends towards video consumption on larger devices. <br /><br />However, if cellular-enabled tablets take off, that may not be the case. <br /><br />Also, if smartphones can cast the mobile TV to a larger screen through DLNA (a computer or a TV), that would make the experience better. Lastly, offering something unique over normal TV (like NOTTV's interactivity and original programming) could work.Mohamed Abou-Alam (via LTE World Series Linkedin group)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834236085756782640.post-4704769647917041022014-01-09T02:13:01.100+00:002014-01-09T02:13:01.100+00:00good analysis Zahid.

For the TV/produced content can be tricky too. Especially with service areas, demand for the specific content, times, and also 'monetization'. i.e. if the use case is only for broadcasting big events, then it's going to be pay per use once in a while. how many people end up subscribing every month to watch once in a while event.. Plenty of doubts.TWF - The Why Factoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705370674154818374noreply@blogger.com
