Apres Viacom qui signe avec Joost, c'est au tour de Nbc et de News Corp répondre en s'associant dans un modèle s'attaquant directement à Youtube.
The service will feature content from NBC and News Corp., and user-generated video. Both television as well as film titles will be available. Some content will be free, some will cost iTunes-like prices. The company will welcome other content providers, but they said they would be hesitant to add more equity partners to the joint venture.
There will be no centralized site for the service. Instead, content will be available through distribution partners, who will also receive a small share of advertising revenue. The company also said they will be looking to add many more distribution partners, and users will also be able to embed content (along with advertising) directly into their sites.
Many shows, such as American Idol, will not be available since they are not under the control of NBC or News Corp. Shows that are included will become available a few hours after they are first broadcast.
Pricing (and what is free) is still very unclear, as is exactly how advertising will work. At the very least, users can expect to be able to watch streaming content on demand from the service. This in itself will be compelling for many users, although with mandatory advertising simply recording shows on Tivo, or using pirated content, will provide a superior user experience.
