MediaFLO USA’s FLO TV: Mobile Innovation Award Winner 2007

While school kids in Asia have been watching TV on their phones for years, if you try to do it here, you’ll typically get video that’s grainier than a silo and plagued by molasses-slow load times. MediaFLO USA’s FLO TV, accessible through Verizon Wireless’ V CAST Mobile TV service on a handful of compatible phones in 40 major cities, uses a dedicated multicast network to deliver hiccup-free channel surfing (using a cable-like onscreen program guide) and pristine audio and video quality, whether you’re watching ESPN or 30 Rock.
