Qualcomm will expand its Flo TV live mobile-television service to 39 new markets following this week's transition of TV signals to all-digital from analog. The company said it would go live in
15 new markets including Boston and Miami immediately following the digital transition -- which frees up broadband spectrum. At the same time, it will expand service in existing markets such as New
York and Los Angeles.
Working with Audiovox, Qualcomm will also supply units that allow people to watch Flo TV in their cars. Flo TV says that by the end of the year it will offer its service to about 60 million more customers in about 100 major markets.
