You can ask him directly at our mobile tools and users panel on January 31 or email us at socialmediaclubLA*at*gmail*dot*com or tweet us at @SMC_LA. RSVP for the event here: mobilesmcla.eventbrite.com/Here are a few questions I'll be sending along to our moderator:

• While the thought of having a livestream in my pants (or my smartphone) sounds good, have content producers and telecom companies come to an understanding on the amount of bandwidth needed for streaming into millions of "handsets"? Where does this leave consumers with less than average space on their phones or tablets?
• Does Tim have some numbers on the rate of commercial consumption on mobile tv versus traditional tv?
• Can users skip the commercials on their mobile device or are they locked in?
• What sort of tv commercials have worked well with mDialog's platform?

If you've got more questions to ask Tim, bring them along with you on Tuesday, January 31! I'll see you there.
