Posted on Oct 21, 04 12:08 AM PDT

While most people still don't have a HDTV in their homes, the telecom industry is working on getting HDTV into cell phones. Texas instrument is going to announce that it will provide the technology that lets mobile phone users to receive hundred of HDTV channels. The product will enter production in 2007 at the earliest.

Sprint PCS and AT&T are currently offering a TV service, but the image quality has nothing to do with HDTV. I would even say that it's pretty bad.

Television is one way of using the additional bandwidth that next generation networks will offer. In today's telecom market, bandwidth enable services and services keep the margins high, there's no escape.
