According to Engadget, Apple has a three-month exclusive contract with HBO to serve as the digital provider of HBO Now.
“So it will be at least that long until someone like Google, Amazon or even HBO itself could sell access,” Engadget noted.

HBO first announced plans to launch a stand-alone streaming service in October.
