Coverage of mobile Wireless

Description

This is about how much mobile phones are used in the world, and how the network coverage can be used for mobile television broadcasting. Speed and connectivity rate of the network are the most important factors here. Network coverage can be improved by setting up more mobile phone towers, and possible improvements on the wireless network standards. Currently, GPRS and UMTS technologies are already widely used, but these technologies are not yet used for broadcasting television signals for mobile phones. This will likely happen after 2009, when the 4th generation wireless communication systems will be introduced to the public. These new generation wireless technologies will support speeds of up to 1Gbit/s, sufficient for streaming HDTV content. It is expected that around the same time, new wireless standards such as 802.11y will also be supported by the next-generation mobile phones, increasing the wireless coverage even more.
