From this morning's Earlybird:
• "Broadcasters hope to build a U.S. viewership in the hundreds of millions for their newest technology -- mobile digital television -- but for now they're focused on a much smaller audience: the 535 members of Congress," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports. The Open Mobile Video Coalition, made up of several TV networks and 860 television outlets, is planning a technology demonstration next month to introduce mobile DTV's capabilities to lawmakers and staffers.
• The Federal Communications Commission "has the authority to accomplish the central goals in its sweeping broadband plan unveiled last month despite a recent federal appeals court decision that has raised questions about its legal role on Internet issues, the AT&T's head of regulatory affairs Bob Quinn said Tuesday," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports.
• "Twitter Inc. launched its long-awaited advertising system, marking the four-year-old company's first significant attempt to turn its so-called microblogging service into a profitable business," the Wall Street Journal reports.
