Amazon working on Netflix-killing streaming video service?
August 31, 2010 by streaming video · Leave a Comment
According to the Wall Street Journal , Amazon.com has been pitching media companies on a streaming video subscription service that would compete with Netflix. Amazon has talked to NBC, Time Warner and Viacom about a service that would work on the Web, on mobile devices, and on Xbox 360 consoles.
The service could launch in time for the holidays, and there’s talk of bundling subscriptions with Amazon Prime accounts. No content providers have been confirmed for the subscription service yet, though, so that timeline is far from a sure thing. The WSJ couldn’t get an official comment from Amazon, so we’ll just have to watch and wait.
