Faster Video For Wireless Devices?
There's a story today over at News.com about a guy working on making video faster for mobile devices. It certainly would be nice if it works, but I won't hold my breath just yet. For years we've heard stories about people and companies working on mobile video solutions and they usually don't amount to much. Right now, many customers are still trying to figure out how to get text messaging to work, so I'm not sure they're ready for video just yet. Down the road it may become a much bigger deal, but there have been too many stories about mobile video for a technology that still has a ways to go.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
