The founders of iCraveTV had a great idea for a potentially lucrative market segment: retransmitting network broadcast television signals to Internet-connected PCs, reaching a worldwide extension market. There were several resourcing obstacles to overcome while entering the fiercely competitive broadcasting industry and building competitive advantage: obtaining rights to the programs, securing paying advertisers, retaining viewers, having sufficient cash and management expertise. Several issues remained unresolved as they moved towards the launch of iCraveTV: negotiating rights from each of the content syndicators or attempting to pay Internet royalties for the programming; and preventing U.S. users from accessing the Canadian site since iCraveTV was legally permitted to retransmit television signals already carried on Canadian cable channels, but due to differences in regulation, it might face U.S. broadcast industry objections if U.S. audiences found access to the iCraveTV signal. A supplemental case, iCraveTV.com (B): The Aftermath of the Pennsylvania Injunction, product 9B01M010, is available.
