Time e Comcast colocam mais TV na web - INFO Online - (25/06/2009) NOVA YORK - A Time Warner e a Comcast se uniram para testar maneiras de permitir que as pessoas assistam a mais programas de TV na internet. Ao mesmo tempo, as companhias pretendem assegurar que os consumidores continuem pagando por serviços tradicionais de TV a cabo ou satélite. A parceria entre as duas grandes empresas de mídia ressalta a pressão que a indústria de TV vem sofrendo para proteger sua receita, mas também satisfazer os consumidores que querem assistir a seu drama ou comédia favorito no lugar e hora em que preferem. A Time Warner e a Comcast estão apostando num esquema com o qual, basicamente, os espectadores poderão assistir a qualquer programa, em qualquer momento, no aparelho que quiserem, quer seja televisor, computador ou telefone celular. A única exigência é que eles terão primeiro que comprovar que são clientes da TV a cabo ou via satélite, pagando uma assinatura mensal.
