This is a rare article that actually tries to suss out what Apple is doing with AppleTV+. Clearly they're not chasing total subscriber numbers. If they were, just buy Netflix and rename it AppleTV+. Boom, now you're the market leader. Or if that's t…

The concept behind broadcast censorship is that the spectrum that broadcast uses is limited, therefore it is a public resource and the government has to regulate it for the public good. The internet doesn't work like that. Does Ofcom propose to regu…

Apple has no hope to compete unless they go on a buying spree. Buy the entertainment assets of Comcast and Sony, buy CBS+Viacom outright, buy Discovery. Disney has thrown down a pretty big gauntlet here. Subscribers will get 2 or 3 services per hous…

Looks like Comcast/NBC isn't going to have to have an ad-free tier? If so, then how generous of them to commit suicide and remove one competitor from the mix anyway. Maybe this will be a free/ad-supported service featuring just old rerun content.…

Apple needs big brands like Disney and AT&T have, in order to compete. Either that, or they need to somehow become a true meta-service, by which I mean they are able to offer personalized payment schemes. Everyone else is going after personalizi…

I don't follow the credit card, news or games industries, but for streaming TV, AppleTV+ was a flop or at best, whether it will flop is to be decided. Here's Apple's problem, they are not an innovator in this market. They are actually quite late. Ne…

Apple may have tons of money but they are coming to the part really late and they don't have any big brands vs the likes of Disney and Warners with Marvel and DC and HBO and Star Wars. If I were Apple, I would back a dump truck full off money to CBS…

Soli said: Where did they come up with that figure? I can't imagine that 30% of their viewership or revenue would come from the EU. And what's the alternative? No content from non-EU companies? And how do you get smaller streaming services to…

The EU can't compete with Netflix and Amazon so now they're interfering. Netflix and Amazon can see with perfect clarity who is watching what and when. If there's a huge demand for EU content, Netflix and Amazon will bust their butts to satisfy that…
