Looks as though good ole Google has decided to get into the video on demand game...the hook though...is that anyone can do it, set their own price (with a percentage going to google for upkeep and what not) and...it's simple. Big deal right? People do that all ready...well Google has used the model they used for their Gmail in that space and bandwith are "on them" so to speak. It's all in Beta at the moment but the idea is quite interesting...
Can you imagine what this will do for the indie film scene and student directors? Animators? Flash was HUGE for animation and with google essentially picking up the bandwith cost...this will be a major help to many artists who use moving images as their medium.
The potential is huge...the buzz is already floating around and if peopel get as inventive with this as they have with gmail uses...it'll be an interesting next few years.
