HBO Cuts Cable Cord (In Sweden)
- Variety, Friday, August 31, 2012 12:04 PM
In Stockholm, HBO plans to let regional customers access its programming without requiring that they have a pay-TV subscription. Heralding the move as a victory for cord-cutters everywhere, Variety
reports: “The pay-TV network disclosed its plans earlier this month to move into Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark via a joint venture with Parsifal Intl.” No word yet if and when HBO
plans to launch a similar service stateside.
