In a couple of words: live programming. If Apple is smart, they will provide quality access to live television events (News, Sports, etc.) I would have loved to watch the early matches from the Australian Open tennis tournament last month, but for some reason there was no global internet site offering live video streams. So, since I don't live in Australia I missed out. There is obviously a huge demand for watching events like this on a pay-per-view basis all around the world. Charging $1-2 per program would be a fair price, and that would add millions of viewers and huge revenue gains. It's really surprising how this hasn't been done yet. However, I am sure it is just a matter of time.
