Consumer Electronics (CE)

Sony

Cloud TV services

• Sony's coming cloud-based TV service will carry 22 Viacom networks at launch, the companies said in a release.

• The deal is a milestone in the technology and entertainment industry's ambitions for a fully online pay-TV service, one that gives you the most popular networks of your cable provider but delivers them over the Internet. It has been a goal for a plethora of companies but has largely remained out of reach. Apple and Google have been said to be in pursuit, and for nearly a year, Intel was the only company to outright broadcast its plans to launch one. Sony went public with its goal at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, saying it plans to pilot a cloud-based TV service this year that combines live television content with on-demand and DVR.
