TV Moves to the Internet
In not-so-subtle moves, traditional television content providers are moving to the Internet to distribute their content. It seems that CBS News is going to clips from their newscasts and even plans to break news on the Internet as opposed to waiting for their TV time slot. This is no doubt in lieu of trying to create a 24 hour news channel like CNN, MSNBC, or FOX News (if that can even be called "news"). There was also information about Amazon planning to offer streaming concert videos! Woohoo! I guess even less people will be going to concerts if they can see it for free (or get them free with purchase) at Amazon. Link
Wasn't there supposed to be one or two streaming movie services up and running for the Msn TV2 by now? Or has it already happened?
