Re: As an NFL fan.. They're not going after people who can watch games at home or in a sports bar. They're going after people on the go - people who are not in reach of a TV during a game - at the airport, in a cab, on the train, etc. They're looking to grow the pie, not take someone else's slice. |

While I am on the go, I just don't see the sense in listening to a game. It just doesn't provide the same effect. I'd rather DVR it and watch it when I get home or to a location that I can watch it at. I can appreciate those who would benefit from this service, it just wouldn't benefit me in any way. |

kudos:1 | Its inevitable that they will eventually put the "copy never" flag on the broadcast and get you to upgrade to the PPV VOD copy if you want to pause it. |

They'll be charging everybody for the costs involved, however.
$720 million is a nice chunk of change.
