Re: Content owners refuse to get rid of middleman TW the media company owns HBO. So lets say you have Fios and you are paying for HBO. Now HBO come in a says to VZ hey will let you subs and only your subs to get HBO GO for x price, Verizon pays even thought they already pay x amount per subscriber for HBO the channel. So basically HBO is double dibbing since VZ is just going to pass that cost of offering HBO GO to their subscribers. No such thing as free in real world.

kudos:2 | It's not really double dipping, it's offering an additional service for a fee. Businesses up-sell their services all of the time. Charging the ISP to serve you and then turning around and charging you for that service would be more akin to double dipping. |
