Apple has a three-month exclusive window with HBO NOW. Then other distributors (Comcast, Verizon, etc) can sell it.

screw Comcast!!

@LA_All_Day_ you don't think broadband providers want to sell it, just like the cable and satellite guys sell HBO now?

3 months aka about when game of thrones ends.

no. existing partners can sell it before. Apple has the exclusive for new distributors (ie - digital).

HBO tells me that the exclusive is only for other Internet TV services. Cable providers like those mentioned can go 4 launch

Wishful thinking that a cable MSO will sign-on for broadband-exclusive bundle?
