Netscape Founders Preparing To Launch Free Content Service
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Netscape pioneers Mike Homer and Marc Andreessen are back on the start-up scene, launching a TiVo-like online network for distributing and viewing public TV, radio and grassroots media. The free service, called the Open Media Network, is aimed initially at letting traditional public broadcasters and independent filmmakers distribute their work on the Net. But it will also allow ordinary computer users to publish their files."
Interesting concept, but I'm not sure about "TiVo-ing" radio broadcasts? But who am I to argue, FREE is good. Basically this looks like little more than a dedicated P2P network for free content.
With a company founded by two mega-millionaires, you would think they would spend more on hiring a professional graphic designer to create a REAL logo. That thing looks like it was made in MS Paint! Hey, OMN...I'm available for hire, and my rates are cheap! :)
