Since Verizon has officially launched high-speed wireless services, someone here should be able to tell you how much smoother and cleaner LIVE TV is over the EVDO network. Unlike 1x or 3G, it's very useable.

TV on the old 3G network was very slow but the audio was pretty good. It's a first start into something much much better coming pretty soon, which is data networks with higher speed and great capabilities and more flexible, etc. Pretty soon you will be able to see the person you are talking to live and in real time. Imagine having a 4-way split screen for a 5-person conference call and the person talking is centered and highlighted on an tiny HD-C (high-definition cellular) screen. In our lifetimes.
Ok, so I made up the "HD-C".
