Santa Monica, CA | Yet another me-too offering Intel doesn't have any incentive to go against the grain either.
We aren't going to see a successful standalone IPTV/OTT service that carries existing pay-tv content unless Google, Apple, Microsoft and perhaps Amazon get together and buy the content rights - at a minimum of 11 figures annually, to free them from their traditional bounds.
Consumer advocates and bloggers repeatedly fail to understand the very basic economics of ala-carte and streaming pay-tv: it has to bring in greater profits for all the stakeholders, not just a select few, if they are to have reason to offer it. |
