Folks in the education sector and the military will now be able to use ESPN’s online ESPN360 live video service for free, Multi Channel News notes. Right now, about 25 ISPs participate in the subscription-only site – representing about 20 million users. ESPN wants ISPs to pay them a fee for every single subscriber so that a small percentage of the user base can use the 360 service… just like with the TV networks. Fortunately, for now at least, few providers have taken the bait.
