Also, Mobile TV will not substitude the tradinional TV bussines, due to the fact of screen limitations. Mobile TV is a mobile Value Added Service and for that reason you need tailormade content. The rise of the service will take some time since the users learning curve is influenced by the technology factor (3G). Regarding your question about the use of the UGC, I believe that the aim is the creation of communities and the videos will be a starting point. Kyros Andreas,

I would argue that even with content re-shooting/re-scripting/re-editing, most users will not have time or interest in mini-sized TV (e.g. I have not seen many people carrying watch-sized TVs for example, even through these have existed for years). There are strong signs for this: Analyst Iain Gillot, writing in RCRnews cites research that shows that take-up is as low as 1 per cent in the United States and 3 per cent in Europe (as I also mentioned on my InfoCom article). However, with UGC content on the rise, what better use of mobile phones & 3G, than to take video clips from the handset to the living room ? Andreas Kyro,

But commmenting to the topic, I believe that the transformation of TV content into mobile TV content is achievable. In this case you either re-shoot with the use of close ups (and generally preferred one camera)or you produce a totaly different script by taking into consideration the mobile habbits (short length etc). Another option is to edit certain clips from succesfull series and just broadcasted into mobiles. User Generated Content I believe that it will be the next hype.
