Starz-Gazing Into the Future
(RE: “Starz to Join Comcast’s On-Demand Online Test,” July 10): “The test will be to see how the authentication process will work to capture only Comcast customers for viewing. It seems that programmers are lining up to be in the test mix, which means Comcast is on the right track with programmer and consumer technology relationships. It will be interesting to see … whether Comcast, as a leader in the industry, can leverage its powerful reach to garner continued support. … Other cable operators will be looking at this test as a 'bellwether’ in business models going forward.”
Leonard Kevin Grace, Telecom/cable strategist
Why No Online Ride-Along?
(RE: “Armstrong Along for the Ride With Versus’ Tour de France Coverage,” July 9): From the article: “Although it holds the rights to stream the Tour live, Versus, according to Davis, doesn’t plan to go there in the years to come.” … Translation: Comcast paid us too much to put it online. This stinks. Many of us are moving away from cable and satellite. It’s a total failure not to offer this online.”
Andrew Carter, Software Engineer, Seattle
