Santa Monica, CA | How many times? Karl laments that broadcasters "are terrified of the existing cash cow being disrupted". I doubt any Wall Street analysts would characterize the broadcast industry as drowning in cashflow.
Apple is the stubborn one here. They are unwilling to invest in the last-mile network and assure 2K/4K delivery; they are unwilling to pay for the content. |

| Apple makes more money from music than the record labels do.
Apple makes more money from cell phones than the carriers do.
Apple makes more money from e-books than the publishers do.
At this point, anyone approached by Apple for a partnership is going to be very wary about handing Apple all the cards. |

kudos:1 | This is what I'm thinking. They'd be morons to let Apple into their business unless they're itching to fork over a large chunk of their revenue. The business as a whole isn't growing, if Apple is going to step in and make more money than the current STB manufacturers that bigger slice is going to come from somewhere. |
