I did and I have a question. If this is broadcasted on the 700 mgh band. Does that mean you will have to get a phone designed to receive mediaFLO?

They'll still probably going to call it VCast, like VCast 2.0 or something. Since the MediaFlo uses a different frequency than current phones, I guess we'd all have to upgrade again.
MediaFLO technology is different from EV-DO (or any other form of CDMA). So it's not just "a 700mhz EVDO chip." It has nothing to do with EV-DO, or any revision of EV-DO; it's an entirely different technology (OFDM).
