Cell Phones: NBC offers Full Mobile Versions of hit TV shows
NBC said that it would give customers the opportunity to purchase prime-time TV shows on demand to play on their cellphones. So far efforts for viewing TV and movies on cellphones have faltered, possibly due to the limited and short-length content out in the market today. As usual, NBC's hit shows like "The Office" and "Heroes" will be available through mobile multimedia pioneer MobiTV, and customers will be able to buy full-length episodes for $1.99 each up to 24 hours after the TV show airs. The main feature here will be the on-demand ability to let consumers pause and resume viewing later on.

Skype’s petition is: “As the wireless market has matured and wireless
handsets have become an integral part of most Americans’ lives,
carriers are using their considerable influence over handset design and
usage to maintain control over and limit subscribers’ right to run

carrying the subscribers’ messages indifferent to content, carriers
have exerted more and more control over the way consumers access the
mobile Internet.”
