Comcast plans to offer a huge menu of films
Comcast announced an ambitious plan Tuesday at CES to set up two new ways for how people will watch movies and television shows in their homes or on the road, reports the New York Times. “The plan is aimed at making a nearly limitless supply of movies and television shows available on television, where Comcast subscribers could view them on demand, and through the Internet, where anyone with Web access could watch them.”
A new Comcast site called Fancast allows viewers to watch more than 3,000 hours of television shows from NBC, Fox, CBS and MTV and soon they will be able to remotely program the digital video recorders in their homes. The shows on Fancast are available free. Comcast has yet to say how it will price the rest of the content they plan to make available.
Netflix, which has been trying to offer alternatives to its United States mail delivery system, seems to have a similar vision, as I mentioned recently.
“Cable is fighting an all-out war on multiple fronts, putting operators in a position they have never faced before,” Richard Greenfield, an analyst at Pali Research, wrote in a note after Comcast reported earnings in December. “Comcast needs to go on the offensive, and soon.”
