SBC’s Video-On-Demand ploy

bq. In an attempt to bring Interet Video-On-Demand (VOD) to the masses and help promote broadband. SBC Yahoo! DSL has teamed with Santa Monica, Calif. based Movielink to create a co-branded Web site of video downloads for DSL subscribers–new Movielink subscribers reports ehomeupgrade

From my perspective this is a dumb idea given the spotty and slow speeds of the SBC DSL network. I am glad to get 90 kilobits per second at best and the MovieLink is just not going to work at those speeds. It is a bad idea for Movielink to partner with company with a checkered DSL history.
