Why mobile data won't fly in Europe
Apparently its commonplace in the US to have real flatrate data plans, while in Europe we still typically have capped and pay-as-you-go plans, except for some specific operator-controlled services like in cases music downloads etc. That means Orb's concept of streaming information from your own PC to your phone works much better in the US. Mentioned here is that you could have your favorite channel running on your PC (provided you have a TV card) and stream that to your phone. The cost would be huge with the type of plan most Europeans have.
