The Walt Disney Co. will this fall launch a video-on-demand service, Moviebeam. Using a technology called datacasting, which transmits digital information via TV signals, consumers will be able to download movies to a set-top box similar to a DVD-Video player. Ten new movies will be offered each week;

the boxes will hold up to 100 films at a time. A trial run of the service will take place in Salt Lake City and two other cities to be announced.
