Hello Joost. Goodbye Cable, Satelite, TiVo, Democracy Player, we won’t miss you.
So I have been procrastinating a bit on my promised review of Joost.
I wanted to organize a nice post that goes through the features, talks about the pros and cons and provides a open and fair dialog.
At the end of the day though, there is only one thing that matters.
Is this or is this not going to do to TV what VOIP did for telcom.
The answer is yes.
Basically, so far I love Joost. I love using it, I love watching it, and even with some of the features still buggy, it does what it needs to, provides me high quality on demand programming.
Now, that alone isn’t going to kill the big TV. Technology can only go so far. The real key indicator is what the networks do. If the networks provide their A+ content to Joost, it’s over.
If Joost can sign FOX, ABC, NBC and CBS, I will cancel my DirectTV subscription and use Joost exclusively. I am 90% certian that the rest of you would too.
Well guess what kids, we are 1/4 of the way there. CBS has committed its A+ content to the new platform.
Now I’m really starting to get excited.
Look for a more in depth review of Joost in conjunction with Marketing Hipster soon.
