Dish Network Corp. reportedly is talking to networks such as Viacom, Univision and Scripps Networks Interactive about licensing some content to a new Dish over the top video offering that would not require purchase of a Dish Network video subscription, Bloomberg says.
That would be a break with "TV Everywhere" packages that require customers to buy a linear video subscription first, before being able to use the TV Everywhere feature.
The expectation is that Dish could create lower-cost online services that virtually any U.S. consumer with broadband access could buy. The issue is whether an appealing package, costing perhaps $20 a month, for users watching on tablets and smart phones, for example.
