Microsoft has launched a service that lets users download videos to mobile devices to watch daily television programming, including news, sports, and other content from MSNBC.com, FOX Sports, the Food Network, MTV Networks Music, TiVo and Napster and other content providers.

MSN Video Downloads one-year fee will be $19.95 and it will allow unlimited downloads.

Over 200 companies have already signed up to provide content for the service. The files can be viewed on any device that supports Windows Media Player 10 Mobile.

huh.gif What? With all the advrtizement crap I already go through, I think this should be a free service. I already pay through the nose to get HS Internet. Now where is the "Stuff"?

Of course it should be free. We get enough advertisements from watching tv.
Cable stinks!
This would be awesome if it could compete with cable providers who keep raising the monthly rates without any real service improvements. I think only college tuition rates have risen faster! GOOD LUCK! biggrin.gif

It WILL BE free... when Google adds the same service. Still remember 2Mb of free Hotmail box...

It's a good idea as long as they don't push a bunch of comercials on us. It will be a lought cheaper than cable. If we can pick the chanels we want to watch watch that would be cool.
The Top Banana Man
Here is a chance for the US government to pick up points with everyone from the biggest business to the smallest educator by providing free unlimited access to the Internet and the WWW with a free email address to every man woman and child in this nation from anywhere in the world.

Just think of the power the USA could have then through its network of American culture pulsing through the web.
