Mobile TV predicted to be a hit

Mobile TV predicted to be a hit: "Services in Japan, South Korea and Italy are attracting millions, confounding critics who said people would not watch TV on a small device."
I am not a critic but I am confounded. I cannot believe when real TVs are becoming ginormous that the mobile phone screens would be a popular, perhaps even more popular alternative. Why would you watch TV on such a small screen? Are the programmes designed for mobile or just normal services in miniature? I can see it as a way of keeping up with the cricket or some news item you wish to pursue. Why subscribe to mobile TV when you have your own TV at home? I had actually thought we were moving on from TV. Obviously not. A lot of people I know watch very little TV. So what do these millions of people watch on TV , why and where? I suppose it would pass travelling time, but it means we are constantly distracted form the real world and maybe virtual worlds mean more to us. I'd like more inofrmation on htis one.
