Love it but...
As a huge media guy I love the idea of taking my TV with me everywhere I go, but it is a big data drain. It would be nice if they could do something to lower the data usage while streaming live TV.

A lot of people don't realize how much data video saps from a mobile device. It can become expensive. I'm always cautious of it, but am amazed by the number of people I see watching what seems like endless hours of video on their mobile device.

I wonder how much of a threat they view....
Comcast is getting into the TV everywhere space, but not into the all kinds of content everywhere-- like Twitch or Let's Play videos. I wonder if Comcast sees that kind of content as a threat at all?

Re: I wonder how much of a threat they view....
Comcast buying Dreamworks is maybe part of its plan to address emerging threats like Twitch and Let's Play videos, but I wonder if Comcast is thinking about acquiring more startups. IIRC, Comcast bought a startup and turned it into "Xfinity" -- so I think there may be more startups becoming fodder for cablecos to help deal with the OTT threats.

TV Everywhere = "No spoilers"
One reason why sports (and to some extent the political debate) are such a natural for TV Everywhere is that for many people a part of the drama/excitement is not knowing what happens next. Being able to watch live or close to live is important so that you're wondering what will happen next rather than seeing that great play you've already heard/read about and knowing the final score. Similarly, seeing political debates delayed and excerpted means little possibility of surprise.

Re: I wonder how much of a threat they view....
@mhhf1ve It seems every time you turn around, you find another channel emerging for programming. Now Spotify announced that it is offering its own original programming. According to the AdAge article:
Spotify will unveil plans for its first slate of original shows Monday, a year after adding clips from the BBC and Comedy Central. Episodes of every program, which range from a few minutes to 15 minutes, will be available to free and paid Spotify users in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Sweden.
Having amassed an audience of 75 million users, Spotify is counting on video to bring in new customers and convince current ones to spend more time on the service, which offers more than 30 million songs on-demand. If those customers spend less time on rivals YouTube and Apple Music -- both of which offer video -- all the better.
