NTV hosts mobile TV expo, sees into the future

Mobile television is no passing fad. It's clearly here to stay, and its popularity is growing very rapidly. A broadcaster in Japan, NTV, has recognized that watching TV at home isn't going to be the only stream anymore, and as such, is hosting an expo in Tokyo showing off a wide range of nifty gadgets and technology from leading Japanese manufacturers.It can only be expected that the floor is filled with cell phones that do the portable video thing, but there are actually two innovations that should be of note. Panasonic is developing a system that would send terrestrial digital broadcasts into trains, making the daily Japanese commute a little less mundane. What's more is that the sound won't flood the subway, but would rather be sent wirelessly to individual rider's headsets.
