Amazon has licked their lips in anticipation of a new video streaming service that will be in the vein of the Netflix subscription model, and it intends to achieve that by targeting big content companies and securing rights to TV shows and movies – at least, that’s what the Wall Street Journal reports. Not only that, Amazon intends to roll out this service in time for the frenzied holiday season, but considering that it will be September in just a few hours’ time, that looks like Mission Impossible as no takers are available at the moment. Currently, Amazon is limited to offering movies and TV shows via the Internet on a pay-per-show basis, and a subscription service is the next level that Amazon hopes to take it to. Well, do you think it is a matter of time before cheap video content might take the industry down the same road as super cheap MP3 distribution?
