    Arrow NBC Keynote on iTunes: Unreasonable and Unrealistic

    I caught wind of a keynote address given by George Kliavkoff on the state of NBC and Apple's iTunes. Back in August of 2007, NBC pulled the plug (decided to not renew) on its contract to distribute television shows via iTunes. At the time disagreements over pricing (NBC apparently wanted to net up to $4.99 per episode instead of the $1.99 Apple wanted to charge) and DRM (NBC wanted MORE restrictions on content than Apple currently provided) seemed to be behind the decision.

    One of the reasons DVDs will be around: greed. $4.99 for a TV show?? Are these guys high on crack??!! And we thought the HD DVD/Blu-ray debacle was moronic.

    I guess it's just math.

    1 millions idiots at $4.99 an episode is better than 3 million non-idiots at $1.99. I know, it doesn't add up...
