Verizon streaming TV channels for iPad viewing

November 25, 2012

Last year, Bright House started offering several dozen live channels on tablets — including A&E, Discovery, Lifetime, CNN and the Disney Channel — a system that also only works inside the customer's home.Now the system has more than 200 channels available.

Though tablets have been on the market for only the past few years, already 9 percent of people are watching shows on tablets, according to data from market researcher Parks Associates.

Content companies such as Disney and Fox see huge opportunities there, especially as their current projects don't allow viewers to skip commercials — a major source of revenue.

From the article, "Verizon streaming TV channels for iPad viewing" by Richard Mullins.
