According to a Wall Street Journal report, Apple may be launching its own subscription TV service by September of this year. The tech giant is said to be in talks with various TV programmers in order to offer a subscription TV service that is Internet-based. Apple has not officially announced its plans yet, but sources cite that the subscription TV service will be unveiled in June.
HBO is known for its television shows such as True Detective, Game of Thrones, and Veep. However, the price of a monthly subscription to HBO can be costly. HBO has now agreed to offer a cable-free online streaming service that is only $15 dollars per month, which is scheduled to start in April.
It wasn't that long ago that the phrase 'Too Big to Fail' became words of common vernacular among the general public, the idea that there are corporations so large that their well-being is directly tied to the well-being of ordinary people who imagine themselves to be totally separate from those entities. These corporations continuously amassed their largesse over time, gaining a bigger and bigger share of the market, pushing out competitors or swallowing them up entirely through merger and acquisition.
These are challenging times for the providers of cable TV. Cable companies such as AT&T, Time Warner and Comcast see challengers everywhere they look. A growing number of consumers are cutting the cable cord completely, relying on streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu Plus to provide the entertainment they once received from cable. Others are turning to satellite TV providers such as DirecTV and Dish Network.
Even YouTube has become a competitor to cable, with many of today's younger consumers happy to spend hours scouring YouTube videos.
Dish Network has recently souped-up the network library of its sorely lacking brand new OTT content service, Sling TV. Sling TV provides access to live sports, family, news, lifestyle, and even international channels as well as offering Video-On-Demand services to US broadband customers in the home with smart TVs or on-the-go on mobile devices for $20 a month without a cable contract and with absolutely no strings or commitments.
In an effort to battle Dish Network’s launch of their $20-a-month OTT service, DirecTV is now offering a $19.99 bundle for new subscribers. DirecTV’s new online advertising campaign, “Dish’s Sling TV: Gamechanging or shortchanging?” is aimed toward new customers who find the $20-a-month price point attractive. In fact, this low monthly subscription price is now in direct competition with Internet or Online streaming services, and is certainly a price and package that traditional cable cannot offer at this time.
The rise in the price of everything around the world is not a shock to anyone. The rise of prices on wanted commodities should not be surprising, either. DirecTV is going to raise prices on the NFL Sunday Ticket for the next season. Someone who has been subscribing to the package might think that they are finally going to have to drop the service, but they need to consider what they are paying for.
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has been the birthplace of most of today's best-known technology, such as CDs, Blu-ray discs, HDTV, Microsoft Xbox and even the camcorder, and recently, at the 2015 CES, a groundbreaking new technology has emerged that will change the way consumers watch TV in their homes.
Dish Network announced earlier this week that there is a new way to watch your favorite television shows: Sling TV. The Internet-only TV offer costs only $20 a month, with access to a number of channels that include ESPN, Cartoon Network, and other channels that were once only available through various packages. This move challenges the traditional cable packages, offering “cord-cutters” a TV package that is simple and over the top.
The 4K TVs are about to change how you see, well, everything. Currently under production by all the big names, like Sony, LG and Panasonic, these wonder machines are the next step in visual technology. While the first products are televisions, this is a snowball effect that will eventually grow to cover and transform all aspects of technological life, from gaming to cameras.
