Quickflix are partnering with Woolies to cross promote their service to Woolies’ shoppers. But John Karantzis, MD of Reeltime.tv (video download service) thinks Quickflix is chasing ‘an anachronistic model’ .. ‘I think mail’s dead’.

Is JK sounding a bit edgy there? Dead is a big call! Quickflix with a ‘dead’ model service 18,000 customers. I’m sure he thinks the local store is equally old school, equally dead. But Video Ezy service in the vicinity of 1.5 million customers. So what’s the uptake for Reeltime.tv or Bigpond Movies Download? Hmmm … nobody’s saying. But with Reeltime admitting to their lack of content and now bailed out by Sony (with a new focus on the games market) … I’d be careful about throwing stones in glass houses!
