I suspect the 'it won't work in the US' claim is based on some kind of misunderstanding. The gig for this beast is that it uses broadcast to deliver the Web content and wireless to request it. So there's no obvious technical reason why it couldn't work in the US, as far as I can see. It's just a neat packaging of an approach that's being used elsewhere.
