Comcast Buys NBC! So Many Interesting Questions to Now Consider
CNBC broke the news today: http://www.cnbc.com/id/34225581
We will have a solid year to wait for this deal to pass through all the regulatory hoops and hurdles. That will give us time to consider so many really interesting questions:- What will this mean for Hulu? What will happen to NBC's 30%stake in Hulu, the sworn enemy of Comcast?
- Will DirecTV and other MSOs respond in-kind by buying up content as well?
- Will this start a content land-grab among the MSO's who fear their bread-and-butter distribution business will evaporate over the next decade?
- How will owning NBC impact Comcast's On Demand Online (TV Everywhere) initiative to bring TV online?
- Will this deal keep Steve Jobs up at night? Will Comcast pull NBC shows from iTunes (again)?
