A major Hollywood studio and online search engine Google Inc unveiled separate moves on Monday to put movie and TV-like content on the Web, highlighting the way in which both see the Internet as critical to reaching customers.

Sony Pictures Entertainment, a unit of Sony Corp, said it plans to make the Will Smith action film “Hancock,” which opens on Wednesday, available online to owners of the Web-connected Sony Bravia TV before the movie goes out on DVD.[/center]

What I find interesting is that more and more video is going up on the web, and more and more ISPs complaining about people that use what they consider excessive bandwidth and taking some sort of action like the more you use the slower your connection gets, charging more for the more bandwidth you use, etc. Pretty soon you will not be able to watch the videos without paying for some sort of "premium" internet package (which would be pretty much equivalent to what you have today).
