I remember long ago watching the keynote on CNET TV or whatever they called it before they got bought out. Then you could watch the live stream after Apple bought an interest in Akamai who helped with the edge repeaters of the streams on the web, this was also part of Apple's original QuicktimeTV streaming of various channels, til it died. They also showed the streams in various Apple Retail stores for a couple years til they took out the theaters in most and just stopped doing that.
I really doubt Apple legal is going to let the World of Apple guys pull off a video feed, especially if they are trying to get money for add placement on an Apple event feed. I wish them luck, but I really doubt they will pull it off.

I think i might have just got to the bottom of the reason behind the invite:
Apple are to remove "restrictive pricing" on itunes, the BBC reports.
Apple have been in trouble with the EU over the price difference between the US and european itunes stores for some time. Maybe this means a price drop in the cost of songs/videos from european itunes stores??
