This article is about Apple talking with cable providers about creating a device to allow consumers to watch live broadcasting such as other televised programs. Many have speculated that Apple has been expected to enter the television market in one way or another; with a TV of it's own or with their ow systems. The Wall Street Journal investigated that Apple's CEO Tim Cook, met with Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt. Other television providers are worried that Apple may be able to take many of their customers away.
This article caught my eye because if Apple already made a cellular device what would be the odds of them creating a television device or their own television. It's destined to happen with what the devices they have. They don't only have computers, laptops, ipods, and phones, but adding a television would't hurt them at all. This doesn't really affect the consumer. Who will be affected in Apple creating a device like this would be all the television providers such as Time Warner Cable, Dish Network, Direct TV, and At&t's U-Verse. It would actually be beneficial to the consumers because if they are offer a good price to this device it would totally attract the public. And also many people that have kids would buy the Apple device because Direct TV got rid of 26 channels, then if they had those 26 channels and had reasonable price most definitely they would be successful in that project. My only question is what kind of TV would they make and how many people would they attract.

wow this is really interesting !
ReplyDeletebut how do you think this would affect you as a student or as a future filmmaker ?
I really like this article you chose, I think they would really have a good amount of customers because people already love Apple & they would make a lor of money .
Great article !
I agree with you that Direct TV and Time Warner and the other companies would be worried. After all, Apple has some really dedicated fans. Thanks to that fan base people would make the switch.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder if they're going to make anything different. For example, one recent thing was the Google TV.
