ITunes Music Store moves toward sales of video as well as music

Today's Silicon.com article discusses some of the new video content that Apple is selling on the iTunes Music Store now. Recent upgrades to iTunes itself that allow full-screen video display using the new H.264 codec indicate that Robert X. Cringley's prediction might be coming true.

If it does that, the networks should start worrying.
