New Distribution System for Automobiles
The Auto Channel announces an interesting new business model. GM has partnered with a television company, videogame producer and car accessory company to provide content modules for high end cars (Nickelodeon and Video Games Publisher Capcom Partner with PhatNoise to Drive Family Entertainment Into General Motor's New Line of Crossover Sports Vehicles).
GM's Mobile Digital Media Player, powered by PhatNoise, includes a 40GB hard drive, which will come pre-loaded with premium content packages from the company's new partners. ...Multiple packages of additional games or additional television content are stored securely on the system, so consumers can purchase, unlock and enjoy more programming at their convenience. Priced at $19.95 each, the additional, packages from each of the new partners are easily accessed using the included PhatNoise software.
Interesting model. Eventually, of course it will be just another distribution system for open content.
