Verizon Wireless V Cast Mobile TV

Channel-hopping on Mobile TV isn't quite instantaneous, but it's quick enough--there's about a two-second lag between selecting a channel and the feed coming through, or about what you get with satellite TV.

Pricing and availability

Pricing plans include three options. The $25 per month Select plan gives you all eight Mobile TV channels and the V Cast Pack service, which includes unlimited streamed video clips from the V Cast service, access to the carrier's mobile Web 2.0 application, and unlimited data and e-mail. The Basic $15 per month includes the eight V Cast Mobile TV channels (V Cast content is extra) while the $13 per month Limited package gives you just four channels: Fox Mobile, NBC 2Go, NBC News 2Go, and CBS Mobile.

Mobile TV is currently available in 25 U.S. markets: Tucson, Ariz.; Los Angeles; Palm Springs, Calif.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Denver; Jacksonville, Fla.; Orlando, Fla.; Atlanta; Chicago; Indianapolis; Topeka, Kans.; Wichita, Kans.; New Orleans; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Kansas City; St. Louis; Omaha-Lincoln, Neb.; Las Vegas; Albuquerque-Santa Fe, N.Mex.; Portland; Nashville; Dallas-Fort Worth; Salt Lake City; Norfolk-Richmond, Va.; and Seattle. More cities will be added later, but if you don't live in one of these areas, the service and the phones won't be available for purchase.
