However, the introduction of an online-only service that any customer could access for a flat monthly fee would be a landmark shift for the business that has long relied on exclusivity and the cable providers' fierce defense of program bundling. The warming up to an online-only future for HBO comes at a time when providers and creators of TV programming have begun to more aggressively address the rise of cord-cutting
The regulation actually states that buying premium services like HBO should not require additional tiers of service, with the exception of the basic tier. HBO is not a charity, and if you want something more substantial than awful reality TV shows (which are dirt cheap to produce and very profitable), then you have to pay for it
Goodbye, Time Warner Cable - The Awl
I remember all those long nights waiting on hold, trying to get you to stop charging me for the old cable box, only to get a customer service rep who thought I was the one who was lying. You know how I know that NBC is on channel 4? Because every one of their billboards and station identification bumpers has said so since the beginning of time
The film will be directed by series creator Doug Ellin, who wrote the screenplay and who exec produced the series with Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson

But opponents have painted Comcast as a potential gatekeeper of the Internet, raising the stakes as regulators wrestle over how best to regulate the Internet.And there have been many developments in the digital and streaming video space.Netflix reached 39 million subscribers in the U.S
Hardest part of the job was just the constant line of customers and the expectations to take the 15-20 min per customer and the line of customers that would get upset over the wait
VEGGIETORTA As a cable cutter this is great information Christian, I hope providers start parting out more of their networks in this manner (only pay for what you use). Turns out you can in fact enjoy shows like Game of Thrones, True Detective, The Leftovers, Silicon Valley and more, without committing your soul to a cable provider

What Should HBO GO Cost Without A Cable Subscription? One Man Hopes HBO Makes It Happen; HBO Responds
So the bottom line is that HBO could get ten times as much money from me as they're getting now, and I'd gladly pay it to be able to stream all their content as soon as it's available, but apparently they don't want it yet. As it is, many people are already giving up cable, given the streaming apps from many networks, Netflix, and Apple TV to stream iTunes and other Internet content

"It's still many months before the proposed merger is expected to close and it's too early to speculate about specifics like platforms or apps," said Rich Ruggiero, a spokesman for Time Warner Cable. Comcast does allow its subscribers to watch HBO Go on a number of devices, including Apple TV, Xbox 360, Google's Chromecast and Android, and iOS phones and tablets
Even with all the possible extra charges, the deal is pretty good (at least for the first year), since many people pay more just for broadband Internet access. In terms of pay TV subscribers, the combined company would be the second-largest in the country behind a combined Comcast and Time Warner Cable, two other huge companies also attempting to merge into one
With the upcoming launch of HBO NOW, Optimum will now offer the full suite of HBO products, which also includes its pay TV channels and TV to GO offering, giving customers more options than ever before.
