Well, I didn't say that.. If the service launches, and people are happy with it, good. If the company does take money, and doesn't launch a service, then bad.

However, the service doesn't appear quite as revolutionary as you say. Homechoice has been offering something similar (albeit with different compression and not HD) since the mid 90s.

BTW, the website is still oddly light on details of what they are actually planning to carry.
