iCraveTV Draws Ire Of NFL, Broadcasters  Internet television
company iCraveTV.com Inc., Toronto, has been served with a
series of cease and desist letters from powerful broadcast-
reliant companies since it launched its site Nov. 30. National
Football League Enterprises, the Canadian Association of
Broadcasters and the four major U.S. television networks are
among the companies who have made the demand.  iCraveTV.com
retransmits television broadcasts over its site at
www.icravetv.com. The NFL claims that iCraveTV.com's video
streaming is unlawful in the United States, and also that the
retransmissions could violate Canadian law because of their
slowness. Brian McCarthy, spokesman for the NFL, said the online
retransmissions lagged in comparison to his company's live
broadcasts and altered the product.  "It's herky-jerky and about
a minute and half behind," said Brian McCarthy, spokesman for
the NFL. "If you think Denver's quarterback looked slow last
Monday night, you should seen him on their retransmissions."
