...distinguish itself from its virtually identical neighbors, Sovereign has installed a larger-than-life television screen that broadcasts young people telling me about new no-fee checking accounts while also making me think I’m about to get jumped by a drifter.

Users, of course, don't really care how the images are transmitted, but media and mobile companies do. Every bit of programming that travels over a broadcast network rather than a mobile network is lost revenue for the operators. In December, six of Korea's biggest networks will...
