Yeah , yeah , shut up and take your money . Well , it looks like HBO just might . CEO Richard Plepler told Reutersthat he thinks HBO “ has the right exemplar ” , but the popular HBO Go service could evolve to be pair with broadband internet subscriptions .
HBO has been pretty tag about saying it was n’t interested in offering HBO Go as a standalone . And technically , this would n’t be that either , with the hypothetical manikin using a wideband subscription the same way HBO expend basic cable subscriptions now :
Plepler say late Wednesday that HBO GO could be package with a monthly cyberspace service , in partnership with broadband provider , reducing the cost .
customer could pay $ 50 a calendar month for their broadband net and an extra $ 10 or $ 15 for HBO to be packaged in with that armed service , for a total of $ 60 or $ 65 per month , Plepler explain .
“ We would have to make the math work , ” he added .
That ’s still pretty wishy washy , sure . But it ’s also the first time that we ’ve picture HBO number down on this side of the line of descent on non - answers about HBO Go . And really , as long as your internet supplier is affirm , this would , in fact , amount to an a la card option . Reuters also points out that cable company Time Warner Cable , Comcast and Verizon FiOS all offer broadband subscription in summation to cable boob tube . So pardner would be moderately easy to come by , presumptively .
This does not think of HBO Go is a sure stakes to be usable without a cable subscription . Certainly not any time soon . But a chief operating officer talking about potential business poser to a tidings establishment express that the idea is being taken reasonably bloody seriously . [ ReutersviaEngadget ]
