Streaming Hulu for head/partner content is definitely the way to go given their phenomenal growth. If you get YouTube for UGC/semi-pro, Hulu for TV and Netflix for movie content, you've a winning distribution channel. Are any of these guys attending your conference in Nov?</p> Thanks Liz!

It seems like this one is a bit more creative than others I’ve seen because they are actually willing to think out of the box, so to say, and combine services that are often separated for silly reasons.

Is the idea that external providers will use internet as the distribution channel? And what is their DRM story. The internet streaming service, worth their salt, is Netflix. They are getting good content and have a strong offering via Roku. And I'm sure they must have spend a lot of time convincing the content providers about their DRM story. I personally like the Netflix streaming service via Samsung's Bluray box. Consumers are going to start purchasing Bluray in droves once the price point drops below $200 and its a perfect channel to get into the living room. Does Entone have a tie-up with Netflix?</p> Liz, who is providing the content for Entone. Is the idea that external providers will use internet as the distribution channel?
