Comcast Getting into the IPTV Game
Looks like Comcast is dipping their toe in the IPTV waters:
Don’t be afraid. It’s only the future.
On Halloween, something called FearNet is set to make its debut, offering scary movies and other horror programming on demand.
The video service will be available through not just a digital cable channel, but also online at FearNet.com and via mobile phones, suggesting a prototype for what TV networks will be in the years to come, if not sooner.
It’s a niche service set up to offer viewers its programming completely on the terms of their choosing--how, when and wherever they want it.
Starting with niche programming sounds like a great idea but is there enough of an audience to justify the new infrastructure?
Are they really that afraid that putting popular content will cannabilize their current viewership?
