Rumor - Microsoft Subscription Based TV Download Service?
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "CONTENT" @ 06:00 PM
"There are reports that Microsoft is not taking Apple's success lightly and plans on launching a subscription-based download service. The service would presumably offer either unlimited downloads or one with a high limit for a flat monthly fee similar to Napster's present music subscription service."
There seems to be some confusion as to whether this is going to be a TV or Movie based service. While high on the rumor meter, this is intriguing. A subscription based model might work better for TV and movies than for music since people are already accustomed to renting this type of content (cable TV subscription, DVD rentals, movie tickets).
