MetroPCS bringing TV to smartphones

It was only a matter of time before carriers starting bring ing live TV to smartphones. There are already some apps that do this. For instance, Cablevision lets its cable customers stream live TV to their iPhones. Yesterday MetroPCS made an exciting announcement along these lines. Later this year they’ll begin offering live TV on their Android handsets. This seems like a perfect fit for an LTE network. Streaming services is a huge draw, and MetroPCS has the means to deliver it. They expect two of the basic broadcast networks, FOX and NBC, plus a number of other media entities — 15 broadcast groups in total, for a whopping 72 stations. That will surely bring people to MetroPCS and their Android LTE phones. What’s even better: MetroPCS has long said that they’ll start adding many more LTE handsets in the second half of 2012. These two developments could coincide nicely.
