Porn Industry Lusting After IPTV
from the minds-in-the-gutter dept
The adult industry is always quick to jump on new technologies, as it's done with satellite TV, the Internet, DVD and others. Now, it's peering over the horizon at IPTV, with one company getting all hot and bothered at the prospect of offering per-minute billing for movies. Apparently it's a successful business model for its streaming movies on the web, where people buy 550,000 minutes of video per day (no word on how long the average session lasts). What's next, set-top boxes with slots for quarters?Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

They're gonna have a hard time....
They've been in business for a few months now and seem to be doing rather well. Some of the people I've talked with that have used it say the picture quality is pretty decent and the system, a tv set top box, is pretty easy to setup. There were a few complaints about service in the beginning but they seem to have hired a few extra people and have it working fairly smoothly.
I don't know about you but I'd rather pay $29.95/mo.
I am not affiliated with XTV in any shape form or fashion. Hell, I'm not even a subscriber yet. I simply heard they have an awesome deal.

Porn is Porn...
Porn is porn...it's all over the internet for free!
Perhaps I'm missing the point. Maybe there is better porn than others but isn't porn about having sex, exhibitionism, and more sex?
How far can anyone put a twist on porn and make it something more than what I've stated?
If there is a variant of porn I'm unaware of...what is it?
It's all over the internet people and it's free. No matter what you do with it, all you need watch is about 10 minutes worth to notice a difference.
