CBS Sports to Stream March Madness to iPhones

"CBS and MobilTV announced a grand experiment in WiFi broadcasting this week with the release of March Madness on Demand (link opens iTunes), a $5 application for iPhone and iPod Touch that will theoretically allow users with a good WiFi connection to see live streamed TV broadcasts of the NCAA Basketball Tournament begining March 19th.CBS will stream every game of the tournament up to and including the Finals on April 6th, in addition to providing video highlights on demand. Users without WiFi access will be able to access live audio of games in progress over AT&Ts 3G and Edge networks."
Not a bad idea, I guess, if "your team" is in it or if you're a really big fan of NCAA sports. Me? Not so much. I wish MLB would do something like this, though. I'd definitely pay for it. Anyone looking forward to March Madness, or are you one of those folks that just gets in on the office brackets in the interest of getting along with coworkers?
