HBO Free Online VOD Test
The Cynopsis Digital email newsletter has an interesting report today:
HBO begins testing a new broadband content offering today in a selection of Time Warner Cable systems in Milwaukee and Green Bay, Wisconsin. HBO on Broadband, viewable only on PCs by HBO TWC subscribers, will offer access to some 600 episodes (400 at any one time) of HBO originals per month for no additional charge, including The Wire, Sex and the City and The Sopranos. ...[N]o details on whether or not the service would eventually be offered nationally.
Unclear if this is streaming or download, and what residuals formula will be used.
