Skype founders gunning for Netflix with Vdio

Hopefully this will do a lot better than their last attempt at video, joost, which turned out to be a complete failure.

As long as it can help beat the content providers more quickly into their only ultimately tenable position (all content available online, from one service or another), I'm all for it.

To be honest, I don't even care about price that much at this point in history. The fact that there are lots of movies and shows (Game of Thrones, anyone?) that are not digitally available at all is absurd.

Having more competing VOD services negotiating with providers can only make things better.

This could be an optimal moment for a Netflix competitor to step in given Netflix's recent issues.

Vdio will probably have the same content licensing and windowing issues. Not an easy hurdle to overcome.

What a horrible name, trying to tell someone about the site would prove to be difficult.

As an rdio subscriber, a streaming video service that offered some sort of integration with rdio would be pretty interesting. A single subscription plan that would allow for unlimited streaming of music AND movies could be huge.

I'm sure that content producers want to be involved in an upstart by the founders of the filesharing network Kazaa.

Is this and Rdio somehow related?
