Samsung and Nokia are simply responding to market demand.


Maybe I missed something here, but what are Samsung and Nokia doing
to respond to market demand? If anything, they aren't responding, because
HG has a valid point, they could put an ATSC tuner into a smartphone
so that you could watch broadcast TV directly.



You can buy

video cards for desktop computers that include TV tuners so that you can

watch TV on your computer monitor, but those video cards don't sell

well. For some reason, the 16 to 24 age group would much prefer to play

video games and tweet on their desktop computers than watch TV.



Which has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
