The NBA has authorized its teams to provide digital services in local markets including: online video streaming, VOD and interactive television. The launch of this service will start for the 2008-2009 NBA season. Games could be streamed through the team's own website or through a Regional Sports Network. The games will be geographically blocked to those outside of the teams local market. Team's will have to decide on its own business model in order to monetise the content. Some teams won't be able to take advantage of allowing their content to be streamed online because their rights have previously been sold to Regional Sports Networks.
