Very Long Wait...

(Netflix humor...users will understand)

Oh, did you read that Microsoft will be subsidizing next-generation of Xbox (720) as a STB. Who will be the sub, but the cable companies!

Netflix, along with YouTube and other content providers NOT under ownership/partnership/deals with telco/cable companies actually face a threat of anti-competition and even collusion.

BTW, Motorola has to be sweating it, I mean, all those STB/DVRs eventually going away...

Indeed, it would be a very stupid decision if true.

Yes, they are attempting to sell the money losing business, but if they fail to find a buyer it's lights out for the dwindling STB business.
