Internet TV Services By Microsoft



Microsoft is apparently in talks with giant US media houses to launch its own Internet TV services to rival those of Google TV, Apple TV and other online streaming services.

According to sources, the company is scheduling to launch the TV subscription services on its Xbox 360 games console and other devices. Sources told the news agency that one of the options being well thought-out by Microsoft is to provide an original TV service through its Xbox 360 console, which would act like a virtual cable operator.

The new service would need users to pay a monthly fee to access channels such as ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, ESPN or CNN through the Xbox.

An added option being well thought-out by Microsoft is that it could permit current cable subscribers to watch TV shows coupled with interactive features on the Xbox 360, such as program instant messaging.

Microsoft could also provide individual channels through Xbox Live. It is already providing Disney’s ESPN, so comparable deals might follow soon.
