Starz to offer subscription based movie downloads

Tuesday January 3, 2006,  10:28 pm


Premium cable channel Starz announced today ahead of CES that it will begin offering a subscription based service called Vongo that will allow users unlimited access to their current movie roster for viewing on devices supporting Microsoft’s media software. For $10 smackers a month you will be able to download movies to three devices as well as be able to stream a live feed off the Starz channel. This on the heels of further announcements from Disney that they are expanding the content they are offering on iTunes to include ESPN and ABC sports. It seems that we will be reaching a tipping point soon pushing download content to the mainstream as surely many more announcements like this will surface this week at CES. If you are not thinking about what this means to your clients, this may be a good time to start.
