I think Kon is fishing...
Moviebeam was ahead of its time and used the wrong infrastructure for delivery.
Cached VOD will become a major market in the future. The DBS guys are
doing it now to counter the VOD overtures from the cable guys.
Broadcasters are missing a big bet here, as they have tons of
off-peak bandwidth to load the caches in STBs. Unfortunately they are
not in the game...by choice.
