Yes, I recall reading that article; I definitely recommend it.  The bitch of it is, Cingular was the only mobile carrier willing to accept Apple's ROKR phone, knowing full well they'd be (potentially) losing the money they could have received from a phone that was able to wirelessly download music using their (Cingular's) expensive Internet connections.  In other words, it has the potential to cannibalize their sales of downloads.  It's possible they chose to make the deal because they'd still be perceived as "Cool" for having the only phone that could play iTunes.

there isn't a really good mobile phone/music service yet--and it's all
about competing business interests not technology. I think it would be
a safe bet that the same issues are or will be at play with video as
well. Here is a link to the article:

Also I believe Eric Rice could give a little insight into delivering
content to mobile phones.
