Sony may be preparing an internet-based cable TV alternative

Sony may be preparing an internet-based cable TV alternative

We've officially entered the silly season of pre-CES rumors, so take this with a grain of salt, but the Wall Street Journalreports Sony has approached "several big media companies" about distributing their channels over the internet. This comes on the heels of its report on comments by CEO Howard Stringer about significant R&D efforts going into a "different kind of TV", and the four screen strategy Sony would like to implement. According to the report, Sony's idea is to offer small bundles of channels over the internet to its TVs, Blu-ray players, and the PS3.
