If NBC find other distrobuters, that allows them so earn more or the viewers have to pay less, then they have a win-win! Users chose whats cheapest or what suites them best! If it's on the web, users will find it!!! It all comes down to price. If NBC find other distrobuters, that allows them so earn more or the viewers have to pay less, then they have a win-win!

NBC will most likely continue to offer it's content on the net. Still, iTunes is one of the largest and most user friendly solutions for internet delivery of high quality content. They should have done both. iTunes AND other solutions. Yes. NBC will most likely continue to offer it’s content on the net.

NBC (along with other networks) just recently signed with a major host/bandwidth provider so that they can provide high quality streaming directly from NBC.com. If done *right* I don't see much of a mistake with dropping iTunes. However, if the quality is poor, (and you can't run it full screen) it will drive people to pirate their shows rather than going to NBC.com. I also think a big key is going to be how long they allow you to stream older episodes in a season. If they don't allow streaming of the season until it's out on DVD (or at least during the time that it's currently running on normal broadcasts) it will force people to pirate shows to "catch up" on shows like Heroes.

Also: why don't the free channels (advertised) distribute their airings on the web? Don't they want viewers? Isn't *THAT* a good sales argument when negotiating with advertisers?
