I seem to recall that there are some bits of the planet that aren't in the US. And anyway, these channels won't be 'free' as such - the content producers will have signed contracts with certain broadcasters allowing them to broadcast the channels for free - they'll retain the rights to charge in every other market and on every other medium.

Going from that article it looks like it'll be like youtube only with fewer, original content producers, and presumably nothing worth watching except old stuff that doesn't attract any revenue any more. Can't see it being live streaming - who has the bandwidth for that, even these days?
