Comcast video store launching this month
Gizmodo is reporting that Comcast will launch a rumored online-video store before the end of October. The store would offer more flexibility than most competitors: Videos could be downloaded to either a user's PC or a Comcast cable set-top box, which would solve the most frustrating problem with Internet video - transferring the video from a PC to a TV, where it can be watched in the comfort of your living room.
The most daring aspect of Comcast's plan, though, is that it will offer video to any Internet users, not just Comcast broadband subscribers. True, they won't get the benefit of set-top box downloads, but the move will give Comcast access to a vastly larger audience than its 21 million U.S. cable subscribers.
