India VPN TV Everywhere

The latest method of attack aimed at online TV, however, may be the most threatening — and is also likely illegal. Competition laws aim to ensure that incumbent companies fight to prevail by providing better services and changing with the times, not by using their existing dominant position and agreements to prevent new competitors from emerging. The cable, satellite and phone companies have apparently forged an agreement known within the industry as "TV Everywhere." Adopted after lengthy discussions among incumbents, TV Everywhere is designed to crush online competition while being India VPN marketed as a consumerfriendly feature. On Dec. 15, Comcast became the first company to launch its TV Everywhere product, under the brand Fancast Xfinity. The other dominant cable, satellite and phone companies have announced plans to follow suit. TV Everywhere has a simple business plan, under which TV programmers like TNT, TBS and CBS will not make content available to a user via the Internet unless the user is also a pay TV subscriber through a cable, satellite or phone company. The obvious goal is to ensure that consumers do not cancel their cable TV subscriptions. But this plan also eliminates potential competition among existing distributors. Instead of being offered to all Americans, including those living in Cox, Cablevision and Time Warner Cable regions, Fancast Xfinity is only available in Comcast regions. The other distributors will follow Comcast's lead, meaning that the incumbent distributors will not compete with one another outside of their "traditional" regions.
