Korea expects 21 million mobile TV users by 2012

TU charges a one-time $20 set up fee, and then $12 a month for access to 15 video and 19 audio channels. After one year, monthly fees are reduced to $10. Video on demand access is available for about $2 per session. Suh said 65 percent of usage is for TV, while the other 35 percent is audio. TU will start a data service at the end of the year.

Research firm Parks Associates recently estimated the United States would have more than 15 million users of mobile TV by 2010, generating $1.6 billion in revenue.
