This seems pretty cool: For $10/month get news, movies, and other videos delivered to a box by broadband, thus avoiding the need for cable or satellite. OK, I got carried away a little bit, but that might just come in the future -- that's what I'm waiting for.

Anyway, coming this spring, for $10 a month, Akimbo will deliver programs ranging from independent films to foreign-language news to rock-climbing videos. Akimbo sends the video feed over a broadband Internet connection to your Akimbo player ($199). You can choose from 10,000 hours of programming and store up to 200 hours on your player at a time.

So, although not a break-through, it seems like a step closer to getting your sports/news/movies over the Internet and not requiring cable/satellite.
