A few things...

1. Mobile TV is too expensive and only works with certain models and in limited places.
2. The younger generation is more into interactive media like the internet than traditional TV.
3. Youtube.
4. TV watching is a leisure activity, and a 2" screen held in my hand at a perfect angle, straining to hear the tinny speakers is not my idea of leisure.

Ditto to what Mark said, especially point #1. Biggest issue is price...it should be free. It would be ad-supported anyway. Users not going to pay on top of having to watch ads.

In Korea we have two types of Mobile TV, T-DMB, which has no monthly fees and so/so coverage & S-DMB, which is about $12/month, and has better coverage.
