The signal - a news broadcast from TV 3, a public station in Bratislava, Slovakia - was picked up by a server in Prague and compressed for viewing on a mobile phone.

On 2.5G networks, all the mobile operators take half a cent per packet (which represents 512 bytes) for text but only about one-quarter of a cent per packet for multimedia content. The reason?
