Why? The article states that Verizon, AT&T, TimeWarner, and DirectTV don't do this. Anti-competition would be if they collaborated on this, and obviously HBO/Time Warner (owns HBO) wouldn't be happy because they want more people to subscribe to their content. |
Erm, perhaps because Comcast is blocking it because it has its own set top box with Xfinity that they want you to buy in order to be able to access HBOGo. Hence they are trying to force you to buy their thing by bloccking access through a device you already own. Thus anti-competetive behaviour. And even worse if Comcast is not blocking the same from other console platforms, which would only be at the behest of some sort of deal with other console makers, which makes it anti-competetive on 2 fronts.
