last100: NBC Universal plays hardball with iTunes

    $4.99 per episode is crazy. I want a subscription model anyways...Who cares about keeping the episodes for later?

    By the way NBC is denying that this was because of price. They want to explore alternative business models. This is a growing trend among media entities. I am sure more content producers will go this route. Apple does have a monopolistic position in the online media commerce.

    This move will allow alternative business models (like ad based) and may make content cheaper for us consumers.
