O2 and BBC express interest in UK MediaFLO network

Well well, what have we here? Nary a fortnight after Qualcomm committed $16.3 million in the UK to scoop up about 40MHz worth of nationwide spectrum to test MediaFLO there, along comes word that two huge across-the-pond players may be interested. If you’ll recall, Qualcomm noted that it wouldn’t be launching commercially in the UK sans a partner, but according to the Financial Times, O2 has expressed interest in the chipmaker’s plans, specifically noting that “MediaFLO is a technology well suited to providing TV to mobiles.” Beyond that, Auntie Beeb proclaimed that she was “watching the current situation with interest.” We know, this could all boil down to nothing in a matter of seconds, but it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on until that does / doesn’t happen.
