Elephant in the Room

I wonder how CBS intends to handle the issue of advertisements. If Hulu is the target service, it's not an issue I suppose. But, if it's Netflix or Amazon? In the latter case, one side or the other will have to set a possibly dangerous precedent.

I don't think CBS getting paid directly by the streaming providers rather than whoring themselves out to Madison Avenue is particularly dangerous at all.

More product placing and don't count out the commercials being within the programming stream directly. Considering that most Netflix apps I have used have absolutely horrible fast-forward and rewind functions I can see this as being a PITA.
