"Access will be carefully guarded: Comcast subscribers can initially watch shows and movies only on their home computers after being verified by the cable system. And for now, the online viewing will be restricted to those who also get Internet service through Comcast, not through competitors like phone companies.
Comcast, wanting to make sure the shows will remain off-limits to non-subscribers, still is working on providing access over competing home broadband systems as well as on the go — at work, on laptops and, one day, over cell phones."

Right now "TV Everywhere" is only such if one considers a laptop connected to their home network "everywhere". And for many who don't want an overpriced Internet connection from Comcast, it's "TV Nowhere" right out of the gate. They should be ashamed.
Comcast has every reason to drag their feet on implementing access to this from outside of their network. Doing so will only serve to encourage those "naughty" customers who have purchased Internet service elsewhere to "see the light" and come to Comcast for their surfing needs.
The idea of Comcast making this availble over cell phones makes me laugh, too. What makes anyone think that AT&T would ever support this for the iPhone, when they've required other apps (like Slingbox) to work only via WiFi? I doubt that Comcast will have much success in that arena.

Once again the big media compnaies STILL don't get it. Jeez were are mere weeks away from the 2nd decade of the 21st century. Maybe by 2030 they'll get it. |

Then this article and the proposed future service means nothing to you in the first place... the service is FOR comcast customers.. not the general U.S. public ... what don't you get? |
