This is actually a company founded right in American Fork, Utah. It's called Movie Networks and they hosts the "world's largest Internet video collection." They have developed technology that allows you to stream video online almost instantaneously. You can also pause, rewind and fast forward without having to wait for long buffering times. Some of the big networks have already picked up this new technology to stream their TV shows online.This is great for people like me who don't watch the tube anymore, but choose rather to lead a more flexible TV-watching schedule and watch my shows online. Their technology is unmatched by any other competitors.
The only question I have with all of this is what about the commercials? No one likes watching them, but they are how these elaborate TV shows are funded. And if you have the ability to navigate back and forth in a video won't you be able to just skip through the commercials? Are advertisers going to want to pay for these TV spots when know one is going to watch them? I think not.
