Rumor: BlackBerry TV Show Service Coming Soon?

Next rumor? Here’s one fro NewTeeVee…

BlackBerry to Launch TV Episode Service?

The article reports that TV shows will be available when a BlackBerry is connected to a WiFi network and that it will be an all-you-can-eat monthly subscription service.

I wonder how well this service will be received by U.S.carriers like Verizon who already have a video over 3G subscription service in place?

30 and 60 minute (really about 20+ and 40+ minute) episodes take up quite a bit of storage space even when compressed and formatted for small screen devices. I wonder how many people will be shocked to discover all their storage space is used by the TV shows they just downloaded.
