Abstract
The last decade has seen a boost in technological development which has changed the distribution and consumption of audio-visual media services including broadcast services fundamentally. In 2007 the first iPhones hit the global markets. This was a watershed, almost a phase transition. Portable and mobile audio-visual media consumption had been targeted before already with the introduction of distribution technologies such as DVB-H [DVH16], MediaFLO [FLO16], or DMB [DMB16]. However, all of them failed. Some people argued that the primary reason for failure was the lack of promising and sustainable business models. However, based on the iPhone experience it seems more likely that the deficits of the then available portable devices were the real reason why mobile TV did not become an economic success.
