Pleased with early "TV Everywhere" returns from its relationships with Verizon FiOS and Comcast, HBO is moving toward deals with other distributors. Eric Kessler, co-president of HBO, says the premium
programmer is engaged in conversations with a number of different distributors about the platform that enables authenticated subscribers to access content from multiple touch points.
TV Everywhere and HBO Go are the latest examples of the programmer being at the forefront of technology as a mechanism to fortify and increase its subscription base. Currently, HBO Go is available to
Verizon FiOS TV and Internet customers who subscribe to HBO, as they can access more than 600 hours of content, for no additional charge, by logging in at either the premium network's HBOGo.com site
or via a Verizon site. Comcast offers the same 600-plus hours of HBO content through its Fancast Xfinity TV online service.
