Seems like the true reasons are (i) Continued vindictiveness from the "Universal" end. A case of consolidated conspiracy to dominate digital distribution. It will be back to the dark ages of MSFT style muscling and poor consumer service again if that were to happen. (ii) They have already committed to hala.com or is it hunu.com? Well, something like that. Proud as a peac**k. The only thing I like on NBC is Heroes and that is telecast free to air so its fine. And their space in Rockefeller is kinda nice to step in. Stick top your content. Consumers have already voted what forms of distribution they want. Simplicity and a company that understands them (Apple).TheBoots
