    This is great…more alternatives for consumers, but why will these offerings succeed when all the other subscription wireless video offerings have been such a dismal failure?

    The game changer will be when smartphones — beginning with iPhone this fall — are able to ‘talk’ directly and wirelessly to enabled monitors in their vicinity. When this becomes more widespread, these services can feed big screen experiences. More cord cutting — of a different sort — ahead.

    seems pricey for a fairly low end format. And that’s in addition to data usage! Many of the offerings can be gotten free on other platforms, as Brian mentions.
