Research firm Analysys Mason says that the 3G iPhone will significantly impact the mobile TV market. The firm says that many providers are offering mobile TV via 3G but the offerings are constrained by lack of coverage, poor quality and 3G capacity limitations.

The firm says research shows that iPhone users access TV and video content more frequently than subscribers with other types of devices. The addition of 3G to the iPhone will only increase this according to Analysys Mason.

"The iPhone could become the mobile video delivery device of choice for many consumers, by providing a compelling mobile TV and video proposition before mobile broadcasting networks, such as DVB-H become widely available", says Mark Heath, co-author of the new Analysys Mason report iPhone Shows the Way for Mobile TV.
