Last week Apple publicly announced the breakup between its iTunes music and video store and NBC Universal, noting NBC's desire to dally with modified retail pricing plans and potentially force Apple to sell episodes at $4.99 each. Holding fast to its insistence on selling online TV shows at exactly $1.99 an episode, the company in Cupertino, Calif., booted NBC's fall season content altogether after the network informed Apple it did not wish to renew its contract, which expires in December.

Is the Amazon/Unbox service still requiring people who purchase from the store to view the videos within 24 hours or they are automatically erased? They were doing this with their Amazon/Tivo service a little while back. If so that's a great formula for failure there too.
