Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, unveiled at this week’s D: All Things Digital conference that Amazon is planning a digital video streaming service. Want details? So do we, but Bezos wasn’t very forthcoming. All we know is that it will be an ‘a la-carte system,’ which we’re assuming means feature films and TV shows meant to compete with Netflix’s “View It Now” feature.
The service is a natural extension of Amazon’s Unbox service, which allows customers to purchase digital copies of major motion pictures. Unbox films are already watchable on your television via TiVo, but you must wait for the movies to finish downloading before actually watching them, which could take anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours depending on the speed of your connection.
Subscription? Pay-per-play? Catalog size? Hardware partners? We have no idea, but Amazon has our attention. [Source: USA Today]
