Mobile TV is clearly on its way - but it remains less clear whether anyone will watch it.

While recent research shows the public holds a mixture of views toward the new service, silicon.com readers are clearly not interested.

In a recent reader poll, three-quarters of the 489 respondents said that even if the content were good, they would not watch TV on a mobile phone.

One in five said they would be interested, while a mere 2 per cent - or 13 early adopter respondents - said they already watch TV on their mobile.

The most promising demographic for mobile TV appears to be teenagers. A recent study from market research firm Parks Associates showed nearly 40 per cent of US teens would like to watch music videos on their phones.
