Akimbo Signs Distribution Deal with Hollywood Movie Studios

John Boudreau writes in The Mercury News:

San Mateo start-up Akimbo announced a deal Wednesday with Hollywood studios to distribute movies over the Internet to consumers' televisions, another sign of the Internet's role in changing how people will receive video entertainment.

In addition to its agreement with MovieLink, which is owned by half a dozen movie studios and distributes movies online, Akimbo said its box that sits atop a TV will be manufactured by Thomson and sold under the RCA brand beginning in April, an effort to get the 2 1/2-year-old company's service out to mainstream America.
