Top networks make $1.44 per iTunes download

I, for one, am glad that at least some in the entertainment industry 'get' the idea that people are willing to pay for content that they can download to their computers. According to this article NBC,
and other top networks, are earning $1.44 from each download of their shows (Apple pockets the other $.55). This is comparable to what the networks make on DVD box sets, and actually more than they make thanks to advertising (though not all of NBC's shows are on the iTunes Music Store, and download numbers don't match up with the number of people watching shows on TV, yet).

It is a brave new world we are entering into, folks, and Apple is in a great position. Here's hoping they don't screw it up.
