From WinInfo Update:



<< This news is ugly, Internet-news hounds: CNN has dropped its free
QuickTime video content in favor of fee-based video content based on
RealNetworks' new RealOne Player. In other words, if you want to watch
CNN news clips on the Internet, you have to pay. I have a news flash of
my own for CNN: The reason you're popular on TV is that you're part of
the basic cable package; we're not interested in paying for you again.
Insert ads, or whatever you want, but I doubt that many people will pay
for a service they can get for free elsewhere. Shame on CNN for making
this move and retarding the Web's growth in the process. >>

CNN.Com just lost a HELL of a lot of hits (hits = good for CNN). Bad move. RealOne is getting most of the cash in this situation, anyway.
