Web TV coming to the cloud this summer

From TG Daily -

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Comcast and Timer Warner have been negotiating with cable networks such as USA, MTV and TNT to put their broadcast shows online. The shows will not be delivered for free but instead will give paid cable subscribers a new way to access streaming video content online, building upon the basic cloud concept of computer use - web-based TV following you wherever you go,

Individuals who currently watch their favorite shows via Hulu and other similar sites would most likely lose free access. Subscribers instead would be allowed to watch up-to-date cable television programs online and over time, via mobile media playback.

It is yet unknown whether each provider would have their own site or if a single site would be set up where users could be verified via their own cable provider.
