Mount Airy, MD | U.K. TV Tax? I wonder if the U.K. government will impose its nefarious TV tax on mobile phones which can receive such broadcasts?

Portage, MI | Correction £10 = $18.27, not $12.55. Whoever wrote this must've been looking at the Euro to US exchange rate.  | |

Denville, NJ | Won't see that anytime soon We will never see deals like this in the US, at least if you don't include the TV tax factor, or perhaps something not at all like that, at least from Verizon. | |

| DVB-H This is one of those desparate attempts to make money of the 3G investments. Next year there will be mobile phones in Europe that support DVB-H, a mobile version of DVB-T. Then you can receive any digital terrestial TV channel on your mobile without using the expensive 3G network. | |
