Disney Wants To Make Videos Accessible from Anywhere

If The Walt Disney Company isn't just wishing on a star, its new
Keychest technology could become the way to watch video. According to
The Wall Street Journal, Disney is getting ready to show how owning a
movie or a TV show could mean not a physical copy, but access to the
video, which would live on a server somewhere.
Code-named Keychest, the technology could let consumers pay one price
and then watch a movie from any compatible device, whether an iPhone, a
computer's Web browser, or an on-demand cable system.
Competing Initiative
The Journal said Keychest will be unveiled next month, and Disney is now
trying to get major studios, networks and consumer technology companies
to join the effort.
