We didn’t mention Sprint’s new MobiTV television service for cellphones last week, mainly because we’re completely underwhelmed by the prospect of paying ten bucks a month to watch choppy, one frame per second video on a cellphone. Douglas Rushkoff’s column in The Feature this week echoes our sentiments, writing that the carriers are wasting their time trying to foist this on the public. On the other hand, the first few reviews of MobiTV that have trickled in have been generally enthusiastic, so maybe it’s a bit too soon to write this whole thing off.
