[SGVLUG] Anyone want to embrace and extend AOL?

[Emerson, Tom]

With mixed feelings [Hey, it's AOL], I'm passing along a couple of links to AOL /time-warner press releases.

In a nutshell, AOL is offering full-screen streaming video to their broadband customers, and Warner Brothers will be supplying the initial content [reportedly, back episodes of just about everything... "on-demand"]

Some key concepts I noted as I skimmed the first one

   -- uses a peer-to-peer model
   -- uses a "plug-in" to ensure DRM safety and compliance
   -- it will be "streaming" video, not download-and-play-at-will.
