Any times my DVR crapped out and I needed to catch the new episode of the Office, I'd head on over there. That was really the only reason left to USE iTunes. Big loss there for Apple in my opinion.

I'd open a free-for-all video site with ads. More companies should follow Google's example and start giving away stuff and watch their share grow. If I were NBC, I’d steer clear from paid video.

Yeah, I'm sure this is all about price too. (I say with sarcasm dripping) Of course given the current NBC programming is this really a huge loss to anyone.

Remember that consumers purchase NBC shows on iTunes because they have iPod, rather than purchasing the iPod to watch NBC shows. Besides, Apple still has the bulk of the market for portable media players so there goes that customer base. Bottom line: corporate greed. I think it is a strategic mistake on NBC’s part.
