Like the rest of the cable industry, Comcast has focused its future around its internet business, as the consumer trend of “cord cutting” services has shown few signs of abating. It will allow customers to access their subscriptions to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime as well as free shows and movies that Comcast will include with the service, to be supported with advertising revenue.
The announcement comes days before Apple Inc is expected to launch its own TV and video service, while Walt Disney Co and AT&T Inc have said they plan to introduce direct-to-consumer streaming services this year, adding to an increasingly competitive industry.
I don't have a use for the services that stream live cable TV channels. It's the same lame channels I wasn't watching back when I had cable TV (dropped it around 9 years ago), just delivered a different way.
Oh good . Now I can get terrible streaming service too!
Because cable is YESTERDAY'S news. Cable is no longer a household necessity Comcast Cox DISH CableTV
Oh my GOD not another streaming service. How much will my Xfinity comcast bill go up now?
Always ahead of the curve at Comcast.
Comcast is in trouble. When elon does his satelite thing its bye bye time.
