   I'm an avid blackberry user (heck you could be an avid iPhone user) but what got me ticked here is that they've got new applications out there for the blackberry that will allow me to "stream" a movie for $4.99. Redbox is $1.00 and I can return it anywhere there is a Redbox. I can grab one in Salt Lake City, watch a movie on the flight over on my laptop and return it in a Redbox in Oakland. The obviousness is that we're paying for "convenience" on this new Blackberry application so we're not having to drive that extra mile to drop it off at a Redbox... but when you factor in gas & time are you really saving that extra $3.99? Also, how long of a wait are we having to look forward to in either downloading or streaming a movie?

   Then it hit me... why not put Redbox movies in Airports for travelers who might want to watch a movie on their laptop while flying. Opens up a whole new market! I just was wondering if Redbox has looked into it & how feasible it really is... perhaps I haven't looked hard enough and maybe Redbox is making an appearance in airports... but I haven't seen one as of yet.

   Thoughts? Comments?

   The cost of airport space rental and security access for maintenance personal would be a BIG reason. I worked for accounts payable at IAH (Houston) about four years ago. It wouldn't surprise me if one machine would cost a minimum of $500 just for space lease (per month). Badge and Security Clearance per person / per airport would be about $150 per year plus parking fees for the trucks when updating the movies and maintenance.

   I would believe business like Wal-Greens or McDs give a much lower lease rate with the hope people will buy something inside the store... The airport could not make revenue except space rental.

   I have to disagree. I see Redbox putting it's name out there and reaching to those that might not see it on a frequent basis that live in smaller towns. It just might make folks demand that they too get access to a Redbox locally. Redbox would still drive business through the airport but they are also using that opportunity as marketing to as many people as well. I don't see how this is a negative against Redbox...
