Crown Castle International Corp., the wireless broadcast tower operator, said Wednesday it plans to launch live television in several top U.S. markets this year and hopes to deliver video and audio services to a range of products from cellphones and portable media players to laptop computers and cars, Sinead Carew reports from the show.

Crown Castle also aims to have its service run on portable media players such as Apple Computer Inc’s video iPod device as well as laptops and backseat car video players.

“Anybody you can imagine with a mobile device, we’ve talked to,” said treasurer Jay Brown. He expects combined video and audio subscriptions to cost about $15 to $20 a month and separate audio subscriptions would incur monthly fees of $7 to $9.
