Over here, Amazon also owns a company called LoveFilm which is essentially in the same position NetFlix was a couple of months ago with a DVD rental business morphing into a streaming one (but so far not separating out the companies). It doesn't have anything near the streaming repetoire that Netflix had/s though. But that ownership means that Amazon is already in a strong place in this business. Adam -- TV or Not TV ....
