Is Yahoo going Hollywood? It's a question that analysts are increasingly asking after the Sunnyvale, California, Web portal's hiring two weeks ago of Lloyd Braun, a former chairman of ABC television. He is charged with overseeing Yahoo's entertainment and media properties, including movies, music, gaming, sports, news and finance. The thinking is that by recruiting Braun, Yahoo is signaling bigger media aspirations.

Its al about timing.
Yahoo timed most of its new media projects very badly, they are excellent business models that will work applied at the correct time, when the technology is available for all.
Image if your favorite band was playing live in Berlin and you could pay a few dollars to watch it live over the internet in several countries? with superb quality, this is the way the technology must be applied.
This is an excellent business model that will work for a very few top companies.
