Re: Apple Music and HBO Europe
I feel like Apple is coming to the game pretty late here and would have to produce some pretty interesting television to compete with the big guns.

Yeah, nothing bad can come from an information source run by the government. Haha.

Re: Apple Music and HBO Europe
Since you all brought up China, One of my daily must reads as part of my responsibilities at the Daily Outsider is China Daily--it provides good insights on official government thinking on things like South China Sea/etc--(which we release periodically to our Twitter Channel as part of our daily social media curation) and the analysis is actually reasonably well laid-out. I don't, though, put much stock in things like Wikipedia--even the Chinese version--who knows what happens and what is noted? What is interesting, though, is what's happening at the forefront of AI in terms of "sorting out" all that is fake--now that's fascinating to reflect upon nd be witness to...

@mhhf1ve I don't think business type models are what the government had in mind for this. I'd think it is more a matter of setting up access to information that is government controlled and sanctioned. I believe the country blocks access to the standard Wikipedia.

Having quickly read the link you provided, it sounds a lot like the EU project to create a European-version of Google.. that went nowhere.

Apparently, it ended in late 2013.

Re: Apple Music and HBO Europe
A Chinese-govt-controlled fork of Wikipedia sounds like a disaster that will never gain traction. Who will volunteer to maintain it? Only paid Chinese editors. Then it becomes basically a free version of Encyclopedia Britannica -- and the business model for that doesn't look very good.

@mhhf1ve speaking of siloes, I saw today that China is building its own Wikipedia. "Instead of adopting the free community collaboration methodology used by Wikipedia to collect and curate content on its website, the Chinese government is maintaining complete control over the content" see https://thetechportal.com/2017/05/02/china-building-own-curated-wikipedia/

> "Comcast has certianly delivered on its acquisition of NBCU."
Could you elaborate on what you mean by this?
The history of content companies coupled with distribution companies is a bit spurious for looking forward to what these industries should do in the future, I think. The future seems to be leaning toward consolidation of media and distribution, so that distribution networks can try to turn themselves into more exclusive, competitive siloes. With strong copyright (and streaming), I think this move makes sense.
