TV via Internet

As of May 18, says Reuters:

Viewers have watched ABC television shows available online about 3 million times since the Walt Disney Co. network launched the free service just over two weeks ago, Disney's chief executive said on Thursday. . . . The figure provides an early sign of demand for television programs available on the Internet as broadcasters experiment with new ways of reaching viewers.
O'Reilly Radar has some interesting comments, including:
And what will happen to the iTunes deals if Disney and other broadcasters decide there's money to be made in selling the episodes through their own site? I'd love to know the Disney download figures as they experiment with pricing: watch hitwise and comscore over the coming months. It's inconceivable they wouldn't have a report on this.
