    What Does Quality Online Video Look Like? [view article]
    I'm surprised Vividas isn't getting more attention. I've known about them for about 2
    years. I've been an Apple customer since 1984, and think Apple has done a lot for
    consumer video, but still think Vividas has the best video experience, period. See what
    you think. I don't even think there is a question.

    Humm......I don't think the world will collapse if a terrorist attack happens and it can't be broadcast via the satellite emergence broadcast system. You must be against the merger!!! Reply

    My cable service fails your criteria for "quality online video" in several ways. Over-the- air tv is even worse. Reply

    Just to add a little more. Adelstein is quoting Marky's, Democratic Rep. from MA, 6 year freeze on pricing and 25 % Spectrum set aside. Along with a few other details not yet revealed, in addition to what is already in circulation. Reply

    oregonduck.....a little brief on the details, and as we all know the devil is definitely in the details Adelstein is spouting out for the "Yes" vote. Might as well take my first born too! Granted it sets a limit for the deal to get done and puts tremendous pressure on Tate to do the right thing in aligning herself with her Republican Members, but short of that, Adelstein's concessions should be a deal breaker for me as an investor.

    Where Is the Online Video Advertising Revenue Going? [view article]
    One wonders if big and small companies can work together to outsmart and compete with and break the greedy, mightly titanic cartel that suffer from the growing Internet click fraud and cluttered content. Read how, for example, Yahoo protects online fraudsters and locks out legal ethical experts... link here tyneham.blogspot.com Reply

    How does an alternative source make it automatically a monopoly?? Don't think AM radio in comparison to FM or SSB or Long Wave is a "legal" monoply by definition! Or TV or cable versus radio! Or the print press versus radio versus TV versus cable versus the Internet! Collectively, they are just alternative means of spreading the word = communications!!

    But at one time in our history we had pocket sized radios that only received FM radio or only received AM radio!! And nobody was raising this kind of interference!! Or maybe they were, but without the Internet, nobody knew, therefore nobody cared!!!

    Just goes to show how illogical bureaucrats are! And you can translate the word "illogical" into stupid! Because after all this BS, it really appears that satellite radio is as doomed as any other common broadcast medium is when compared to the Internet!!

    Ever herad the terms "technological immigrants" and "technological natives"?? Well that describes folks born before and after 1980! Just wish the "natives" would get a little more restless and by the power of their votes set the "immigrants" in FCC free!

    Are contact lenses a legal monoply when compared to conventional eyeglasses? And if so, what the hell is laser surgery??

    Then, please tell me what value the FCC adds for the tax dollars they suck down! We would all do well to take their budget and contribute it to the Defense Department!

    This whole tragedy reminds me of Shakespeare's play "Much to do about nothing"!!!

    Have a nice day!

    I agree with the previous comment -- quality is fabulous for movies rented or purchased through iTunes on an Apple TV. And the delivery is almost instantaneous with no buffering delays. The problems with iTunes rentals lie outside the delivery technology: (1) the fact that on a "one month" rental your video disappears only 24 hours after you push play, even if 29 days are remaining in the rental; (2) and the still-very-limited choice of videos.

    Can we get on with this already? Sirius should get out of this insane merger and go it alone now! They don't need XM's debt, they don't need the FCC, they need to hook up with the IPOD and every other devise out there in technology land, and they don't need to share the spectrum or anything else they own, and it would be nice to see Sirius and XM survive and wipe out regular radio. This way, the corrupt polititions get nothing. It would be a victory for Sirius and hopefully for XM to in the long run. As for the stock prices, they were higher years ago before the merger was announced, and with some help from other technologies, they will get back to those higher levels again. Reply

    This has already been done, it's called iTunes. Quality there is very good, a nice trade off with quick access. Hardly any need for you to form a group, but have fun reinventing the wheel.

    I only wish NBC and the others would all agree to content in iTunes. When I am watching online, I can't be bothered with commercials, and it's a colossal waste of bandwidth. I'll pay a couple of bucks for a 30 minute video, just leave out the commercials and let me watch it when I want, and on my iPod.
