AT&T plans CNN-syle security channel

SAN FRANCISCO - Security experts at AT&T Corp. are about to take a page from CNN's playbook. Within the next year they will begin delivering a video streaming service that will carry Internet security news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the executive in charge of AT&T Labs.
The service, which currently goes by the code name Internet Security News Network, (ISN) is under development at AT&T Labs, but it will be offered as an additional service to the company's customers within the next nine to 12 months, according to Hossein Eslambolchi, president of AT&T’s Global Networking Technology Services and AT&T Labs
ISN will look very much like Time Warner Inc.'s Cable News Network LP LLLP, except that it will be broadcast exclusively over the Internet, Eslambolchi said. "It's like CNN," he said. "When a new attack is spotted, we'll be able to offer constant updates, monitoring, and advice."
The online video channel will feature interviews with AT&T security professionals, as well as experts from a variety of different organizations like network hardware vendors and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT). All the while, news on the latest security vulnerabilities will stream across the bottom of the screen, much like the ticker symbols used by TV news networks, Eslambolchi said. "You will see... what viruses exist and where they came from," he said.

Something tells me this isn't going to be very useful when the next meltdown happens.

What an incredibly stupid idea.
It's actually worse than the TechTV Live thing they threw a few million dollars into during their concerted and successful effort to destroy that cable network.
The had the multiple tickers and the big useless anchor desks and everything.
They were rightfully ignored out of existence. But at least security was only ONE part of their offering. This new thing just doesn't make sense.
And that's after given it the full 3.8 second's worth of attention the idea deserves. (Didn't read the link!)
