Wow, I mean, just WOW! NBC head Jeff Zucker apparently wanted a cut of Apple's hardware profits per iPod/Phone/Touch. He has tried to argue that since they are sold in order to be used with content they provide (among other reasons, services, content providers, etc), NBC should recieve some kind of kickback from the hardware sales.
To quote Mathew Ingram on this: "It’s not clear what the interviewer’s response to this was. He may even have been too flabbergasted to think of a comeback. But a good one might have been to ask Zucker how much money NBC has gotten over the years from TV manufacturers, who have also (arguably) sold a ton of hardware to people eager to watch major network content."
