iTunes To Challenge Cable TV?

This is still firmly under rumor status, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be real. Word on the street is that Apple is pitching a $30/month subscription service to the TV networks, which would allow end users to watch TV through iTunes. There isn’t any detailed information in this just yet, but it’s certainly intriguing. Apparently, if anybody were to take it up, Disney would be one of the first to jump on board, which shouldn’t be too surprising, considering that Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, is Disney’s largest single shareholder. If the rumors are true, then Apple is looking to launch this service in early 2010.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
