Starz enters movie download business

VongoCNet News.com is reporting that premium TV network Starz is launching a movie download service called Vongo. Vongo succeeds the preexisting Starz Ticket service that relied on RealNetworks software. The $9.95-a-month subscription service will be powered by Windows Media and Microsoft is set to give it premium placement on its Windows Media devices, but the movies won't be playable on iPods which. They will, however, be available through Sony's Connect service, which may mean PSP owners will be able to take their movies on to go.
