Go90 says that they aren’t creating a new TV service, but something that is composed of best of both the TV and Internet world. It will feature short clips, viral videos, music concerts and videos and favorite TV shows from the select networks. Certainly, Verizon isn’t just trying to put the TV on your handheld devices, but a lot more than that.
Coming back to the HBO Now and Verizon joint service, the TV giant, is also expected to push ad-supported or free content, trailers, and other video clips the way it does on the YouTube. HBO Now isn’t a core service, but a layer on the top, which suggests that Verizon might be looking for more service providers to join their network.
