based on OFDM outbound high-speed technology. MediaFLO works on the 700MHz spectrum and is being embraced in the United States. However, global movements are also involved, largely through the FLO Forum (www.floforum.org). The purpose of the FLO Forum is to assemble wireless industry stakeholders around the central mission of establishing FLO as Mobile TV an internationally supported technology standard. Its position is that FLO technol- ogy is poised to significantly change the way multimedia is delivered to mobile devices. As these changes take hold, possibilities for the entire wireless industry stand to increase dramatically. MediaFLO is designed to be a one-way, high-speed wireless system to deliver content, including audio and video, to mobile devices. The concept is to make the channels (multiple) CDMA and W-CDMA operators. Mobile virtual network oper- ators (MVNOs) and resellers of the service and/or content are expected to make use of the network. (MVNOs are companies that do not own licensed spectrum of their own but instead make use of another mobile operator's network, while reselling the wireless services under their own brand names.) But wireless operators are not the only potential customers of MediaFLO; the technology is seen as an ideal way for broadcast stations to include an entire new group of viewers-mobile users. MediaFLO will be made available to both CDMA and W-CDMA network operators and TV, cable, and satellite operators. The major innovation is that MediaFLO will allow content that is usually available only for fixed viewing to now be available to mobile devices, whether they are laptops or mobile phones equipped with color screens and enough storage to buffer the content. This obviously suggests that mobile devices will need to accommodate mass storage and the ability to cache content for later viewing, allowing customers who experience any problems in reception to view the program later. And, of course, the system must ensure full security. Whereas TV stations can broadcast a single pr
