I would not equate DirecTV with Time Warner. DirecTV is more of a conduit to media not a media producer like how Time Warner is.
Time warner is both a conduit and a producer of media. Furthermore, the companies operate somewhat separately, sometimes having conflicts of interests. For example, Warner Bros Records sells music. Time Warner Cable sells Road Runner internet services, which advertises that you can download music.
Other companies operate like this, like Sony - Sony Records sells music, and Sony makes CD-RW, DVD-RW and MP3 players. |
