Mobile TVs...

It seems like everyone wants a piece of the mobile phone/TV convergence world these days. Nokia Middle East is now introducing these in the Arabian countries.Testing market are Qatar and Kuwait.The first phones are expected in the middle of this year.

Mobile phone companies’ research indicates that subscribers would be prepared to pay around US$20 per month for access to digital broadcasts. Britain and France already offer a number of on-demand broadcasts to consumers, including high-profile channels such as CNN and Bloomberg.

Theres no doubt that the Middle East is an excellent target for such services, however I would like to see what the respective governments of each of the countries deploying them would do in order to prevent an increase in traffic accidents/deaths (which is already at alarming rates) from watching TV whilst driving.
