Basically content providers are going to shun Boxee and no-one is going to license content via them.
If they wanted to play footsies with content providers they shouldn’t have crapped all over Hulu for the last year and ignoring their requests.
They should have followed the Neulion model if this was their long term ‘money making’ goal.
Alternatively they need to invest in CDN’s if they want to go the brighthouse/akimbo model (Not sure Union Squares pockets are going to be that deep).
