Hmmm, let me fire up the HBO Go App and log in. Okay, now I want to watch Breaking Bad. Hmmm, let me fire up the AMC app and log in. I want to watch Dexter. Hmmm, let me fire up the Showtime app and log in. Hmmm, I’m getting a little tired of launching new apps and logging in all the time.

TV Everywhere and HBO Go were created with everyone but the customer in mind. Is that a great business model?

Or when will the content providers figure out on the Intertubes you don’t need to be in bed with tube plumbers? Multi-device platform also means multi-network delivery. Ditch the Comcast and let me pay directly. I will even pay the $12 and you don’t need to share it.

If one could get hbo a la carte without being forced to subsidize the likes of fox news and the hgtv, there would be sonething prolific about it. I will stick with netflix like services, time warner can shove their premium content where the sun don’t shine.
