Yes it is indeed interesting but no more that the Emperor's New Clothes
I suspect. And a platform to sell XBL by the sounds of it, still not a
bad deal mind you even if XBL is bugger all use to me.

However, my gripe with all these things that are mooting about with the
VOD tag attached to them is fine *if* you can get BB service and *if*
you can get the bandwidth to support it. I know the idea has been
knocked about for ages but I don't see anyone even attempting it yet and
I read somewhere not so long ago that with today's technologies and
telecommunications systems it extremely unlikely to happen, it would be
more of a case of downloading to view later. The stumbling block for
Hollywood of course, as ever, id the DRM issues.
