ABC Australia Gets Head Start in Race to Mobile TV

smh.com.au reports that Australia’s ABC is set to steal a march on its commercial rivals when its popular catch-up TV service is made available on iPhones within weeks, signalling in earnest the beginning of the mobile TV revolution.

The corporation has confirmed it is putting the finishing touches to the technology of its iview service that will enable the 3.7 million users of iPhones in Australia to watch shows on the smallest of the four screens – computers, tablets, TVs and phones – used to view TV content.
