Regional launches are not acceptable, go global in a day. There should be several versions. - with ads but free, if it works for TV then it should be possible to do the same on the net - pay per view stream (at a resonable price a dollar or less) - pay per view stream (HD version) - pay to own (download) Choose an open format, not some proprietary format. You should apply this to Movies too. Let the market decide if people enjoy going to the cinema (I don´t). It is time to cut out the TV middlemen in the market. If you do not give what the consumers want, than they will take what they want and you wont pocket a dime.

I mean, we New Super Bloggers have ramped up our content streaming and have chiseled down our thought bequeathings to brilliant spurts, pure bursts, like on Jaiku and Twitter. We'll stare passively at "movies", okay maybe a good story, but we prefer it last less than 1 minute, if possible, or for a really great deconstructive narrative sensorium, possible as long as 5 minutes max. So the Joost installer, after I downloaded it a month ago, don't and won't work, but I guess I should try again. But I sit at the computer so long, as an ESCAPE FROM TELEVISION!!!!

But MSN Video is a lot stricter on the copyright rules.. i know of friends who can't upload their holiday vids to MSN Video because they have added in some accompanying music (eg. a pop tune). Plus you get unavoidable ads running before you can watch your chosen content. We hear a lot about 'contextual' advertising, but i for one will always prefer a service thats going to let me watch what i want without a 7 second Ad running first.
