RE: Nacchio conviction

Good. He should go to prison. The court also revoked his bail and he may have to report to prison in a few weeks to a month. His lawyer says he will appeal to US Supreme Court. But I doubt that will happen quickly or will keep him out of prison while that appeal goes forward - which could be a long time coming.

In addition to the prison sentence, Nacchio was ordered to forfeit $52 million in ill-gotten gains and pay $19 million in fines.

Netflix plans to offer internet only streaming plans

Instead of making streaming video just an add-on to their "DVD by mail" plans, Netflix will now start offering "internet streaming only" plans.

»tech.yahoo.com/news/nm/20090225/···_netflix
Netflix Inc Chief Financial Officer Barry McCarthy said on Wednesday it plans to offer its online streaming service on a stand-alone basis.

"We're likely to do that in the foreseeable future," McCarthy said at the Jefferies 5th annual Internet and Media conference in New York.

McCarthy stressed the company still remains focused on providing a bundled offering, but said he understands that some viewers will find a stand-alone streaming service to be compelling, particularly as more compatible devices become prevalent.
