Joost the Real Competition for NBC Universal / News Corp?
March 23, 2007
| Filed under: Internet TV
Techmeme is alive with comments that the new NBC/News video offering will be a YouTube killer but it seems to me that Joost is more likely in its cross-hairs. YouTube has short, 10 minute, user-generated videos. The quality is uncertain but the abundance of content is compelling. NBC/News is going for the packaged, channel-based, quality offering of video content once the sole domain of broadcast television - just like Joost.
Its like Verizon and BT getting together when Skype was in beta to create a desktop VOIP client. Looks like the media companies are learning.

I think that Joost might aggregate the the content provided by NewCo and Joost will probably do deals with distributors they have partnerships with via their own affiliate program.

Good point Matt. I guess either way, the 'on button' has just been pressed for mainstream TV to race onto the Internet. Joost will now signup a whole bunch of content owners who will want to compete with NBC/News. I wonder how far NBC/News want to push their aggregation plans to become a web based Joost?
