Some questions about this Internet Broadcasting Network: will it have 24/7 programming schedule, just like TV? Will it actually try to compete with cable / satellite? What will be the means of data transfer?
New company launching in Q2 of this year? It's kinda quick... CMGI must have had something in the works already.
