So if he could download a show and watch it later, he'd be happy. But since he's beloved by us, we record Daily Show and Colbert Report onto DVD-R and mail it over to him. Sure it's a couple days late, but he isn't paying $16 a week to watch something I'm already paying for. Cable over there stinks. So if he could download a show and watch it later, he’d be happy.

The poster who said "what about video to cell phones" has it right: people will watch on their phone, just like they text message their girlfriend or plain take personal calls because you know, when your pocket rings you just can't seem to ignore it.

That would be like trying to make money creating a way to hear broadcasts of NCAA basketball games over the internet. It'll never work ;-) So allow people to view soap operas during the day real time over the internet?

It'll be innocent enough at first, people will watch soaps, take a few bites of food. Then it'll morph into, oh I didn't eat while watching my soaps so I'll take 20 minutes more. Also, lunch time is when many employees get to know each other outside a business environment and bond. With free streaming content, employees will either barracude themselves in their offices or cubes and zone everyone out. Maybe, a bunch will congregate in one office, make a lot of noise and irritate their co-workers who actually care about the job. Free content is great, but at what expense of productivity and community? Kevin Hey Mark,

If I have 350 employees in my building and even 15 of them are streaming shows at ~20KB/s thats two T1 lines work of constant data traffic thats fighting with my critical network communications. Depending on how critical access to external servers is to the business this traffic is unacceptable.
