At least initially, Slim's network will charge no fees, depending on ads & will create its own content. | |

Elbonia | Look for hardware DRM The article fades out after the first blurb, thanks to the WSJ paywall.
The distinctive thing Intel could add would be a box that would reliably prevent customers time-shifting or recording anything the TV people don't want them to. That might appeal to the broadcasters when they realize they can pack it with ads just like the conventional service, and that video is moving to the internet anyway. | |

Santa Monica, CA | "Stubborn" "Broadcasters" ? Poor poor Intel. They can't just cook up some new chips and take the profits from Hollywood and the content owners. Everybody say, "Awww....".
The content owners (not just broadcasters) aren't "stubborn". They're wise | |

| | | Re: "Stubborn" "Broadcasters" ? You are aware that the next gen ivy bridge chips will have the beginnings of cpu level DRM, which is exactly what hollywood wants and thinks will give them more profits. They are doing the opposite of "They can't just cook up some new chips and take the profits from Hollywood and the content owners" | |

Mullica Hill, NJ | Actually they are stubborn, they continue to shun the internet while the world technologically passes them by. And then go crying to the governments and even the UN about piracy they could have prevented by giving the people access to the shows when, where and how they want to consume them.

They're acknowledging that a race to the bottom isn't beneficial.
Much as I'd like ala-carte in many forms, I don't expect to pay less for it. | |

Why would the executives care about the internet? By the time TV dies in favor of the internet, those executives will be long retired and would have banked their bonuses. They don't care about the future.

| | Go Intel. This time I am glad Intel is at least trying. There needs to me more failures by larger corporations to implement streaming as to shine a stronger light on the content companies who are clearly hampering development of new broadcasting methods that consumers clearly desire.
Eventually the content companies will relent but not until they ultimately are seen as the remaining roadblock.
Just like they were was with cassette > VCR > DVR etc. | |

kudos:1 | Re: Go Intel. I wouldn't be jumping for joy just yet.
Intel's strategy may well be to simply deliver the existing TV business model using IPTV technology.
Think about it, they could just replace their current set top boxes with these new locked-down Intel IP-based ones, their costs go down and they keep prices mostly the same and using the same structure.
In the end this makes sense, if they are resistant to changes in the pricing model then move them to new technology, one where you get a cut, but don't push to change their pricing model at all. | |

That would make sense, get people like the cable companies off the "assigned channel" model that is currently limiting their bandwidth.
Figure if everything was data in its pure IP form then channels would serve no purpose other than to initiate a stream with an interface everyone is familiar with.
