If all they initially plan to offer is NBC and MSNBC Content, they're going to have a real hard time gaining any share of this market. Besides, who wants to watch news feeds online (even pay for it) when I can just watch TV or read the news on wealth of sites. Plus, you have ISPs like Comcast with their "invisible" limits, which will have people nervous about streaming anything for more than 5 minutes a day.

| I do not like streaming stuff. If I want to watch something, I watch TV. I cannot stand registration.
I hate real networks, I hate their player, I only use it to watch south park episodes.
I know they are trying to find a killer app for broadband, but steaming news isn't it.
Also, I am pretty sure quality will be sub-par.

I hate registering also - I don't know how many times I have clicked to see something streaming and you either have to register or download some damn player or both.
I can almost guarantee you the quality is poor; but I'll put up with it for free (sorta like those 128K mp3s;) ) |

READ READ READ before commenting they aren't using real at all they are using the win media player and Many people want to see the news and info on thier own time not when your local tv wants to show it. This will do well I know I and many of us dc guys will watch it alot. We spend lots of late nite fixing stuff and writing new patches, this will rule for them 4 am news casts.
