In an attempt to bring Interet Video-On-Demand (VOD) to the masses and help promote broadband. SBC Yahoo! DSL has teamed with Santa Monica, Calif. based Movielink to create a co-branded Web site of video downloads for DSL subscribers–new Movielink subscribers will get a $10 credit . Movielink, for those unfamiliar, is a joint venture of the five major Hollywood film studios to bring video rentals to consumers over the Internet. Rental costs range from $2.95 to $4.99. Subscribers can download movies and watch them as often as they like within a 24-hour period. The downloaded movie expires after 30 days, if it has not been watched. Movielink has also struck similar deals with: Time Warner Cable’s Road, Lycos, BellSouth, Hollywood.com, and The Feed Room.
