Well...I think calling it "the street" is a little overdramatic
For me I'm thinking that the tube thing could be huge traffic. I can definitely see young guys showing tube vids to their friends on mobile and then going home and cranking up the PC for the "real" thing.
The other obstacle of course in the U.S. is speed. Yeah, I'm on a "3G" network with my Blackberry Storm. Still sucks ass. Once we catch up with Europe with our speeds then that obstacle will be out of the way. But for now, it feels like I'm surfing on a real good 56k dial up connection on my phone.
I'm taking inspiration from this post though and I'm busy right now getting my tube geared up for this. I'm not sure that my paysite will fare as well simply because of the fact that a LOT of what we do is so interactive with the members that it's simply not gonna translate on a phone screen even if a phone could view live streaming video (which it can't right now)
