Sounds like a convoluted step backwards.
Here's how online video should work...
-unlimited viewing, which Netflix finally did.
-access from anywhere that has a fast enough connection
-no drm, because it's a waste of time for both parties and excludes Mac and/or Linux thereby reducing potential viewers
-charge a flat rate if you must. who cares what ISP you have.
This is just silly. So, I have HBO and Cox internet service, but I'll be darned if I couldn't go to a friend's house, a hotel, wherever - who DOESN'T have either Cox, or HBO, and still be able to use this... Where's the incentive to even care about this???
I must say, I'm rather impressed with the quality of video from Netflix. It buffers on occasion, but if/when they increase their streaming selection, it is going to flat out rock.
Heck, I might even cancel HBO at that point. |
