I saw on The Verge that HBO is finally going to make its excellent HBO Go service available “over the top” (sometime in 2015)
This is something I’ve wanted for a long time and have written about a bunch here.
It isn’t that I don’t have a cable subscription. I have many.
It is that I want a direct subscription relationship with HBO Go. I don’t want one subscription to be dependent on another.
That is also why I don’t like subscribing to services on my phone via carrier billing.
When its time to end a relationship with a carrier or a cable company, I don’t want to have to think about what other relationships I might be ending.
Direct relationships are best and I’m thrilled to become a direct subscriber to HBO Go.
Well done HBO.
