On Tuesday, U.S. technology company Qualcomm said that they are going to suspend sales of Flo TV personal television sets as the company is gearing up for exploiting the possibilities of Mobile TV services and will also in future focus on Mobile TV services as its core research parameter.
Qualcomm also commented in the statement, “They have been examining the strategic opportunities and potential of Flo TV from quite a while now”. As this examination and assessment will go on, the direct consumer’s sales of the new Device will suspend.
Flo TV basically provides Live TV Broadcast to the users and the subscribers but the service has never been a hit aiming the user, so the tech company, Qualcomm, said it in a discussion forum that they are speculating the idea of selling the Flo TV network and spectrum. According to Qualcomm, they are viewing a strong interest of companies in utilizing the Flo TV spectrum and the network to capitalize on the growing demand of the mobile data.
The company also said that they will carry on delivering Flo TV Programming to the registered users and subscribers until the spring of year 2011. Moreover, it also said that the services that are being provided on the Smartphones which the users have purchased through AT&T and Verizon will not be affected at all by this decision of suspending the Flo TVs own device sale. If the service is discontinued, Flo TV will make all the appropriate refunds to its subscribers.
Registering with Flo TV permits the users to see live programs from channels like ESPN, ABC, CNBC, MSNBC and CNN. Flo TV is not only been tested in U.S. alone, but it has been tested in Europe and Britain as well. Asian countries including Japan and Malaysia have also tested the services of Flo TV.
