Apparently the geniuses at NBC have been taking Gordon Gekko's rants in Wall Street a little too seriously of late. As reported here, the network wanted to increase the cost of their TV episodes on iTunes - including the much-beloved Heroes - such that the price paid by the buying public would've risen from $1.99 to $4.99! That's right, an astounding 150% increase in the fee, at a time when inflation's been hovering around 3% or 4% forever. Brilliant!
Apple has responded by refusing to carry NBC's fares for the upcoming season.

"The rough price for a TV episode has already been established at roughly $2 a pop. It’s called the DVD box set."
