Comcast's Giveaway Is Exactly What Steve Jobs Feared
Telecom and media conglomerate Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) made waves last week when it announced that it would be giving free media streaming players to internet-only customers in an aggressive effort to appeal to cord-cutters. Historically, cable operators would only provide set-top boxes to video customers that have higher monthly bills. The new offer will help Comcast build its competing over-the-top (OTT) video platform, which tanked Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) shares after investors fretted about intensifying competition.
The situation also happens to be exactly what Steve Jobs feared.
