NBC is pulling out on iTunes and they're going to begin streaming shows for free from their Web site. This could actually hurt iTunes a bit. I'm personally a fan of the streaming TV for free idea and it's about time the networks got on board with this. I know that right now it doesn't quite jive with the whole watching from the iPod thing, but as iPods become "connected" devices a-la iPhones, it seems like streaming on handheld devices could become more common, anyway. I've just never wanted to pay for (and keep) TV episodes. I mean, isn't TV a bit like pornography? Don't you just have that dirty feeling and want to throw it away afterwards? I know iTunes (Apple) thinks its strategies are invincible, but it may want to take a break from feeding its ego just long enough to feel the fire burning under its ass.
