In a sense they already do reach the akl carte market. Most of the original HBO
series are released on DVD. But they have steadfastly opposed making their show
available the Netflix and Hulu. It's all about protecting their cable partners.
There was a consumer campaign last year to get HBO to offer a paid streaming
only service. According to the story, HBO politely said no.
So far. In the US.
But they do offer standalone streaming in Scandinavia.
If Netflix's US market share keeps growing HBO's calculation for what
makes sense in the US market could change.
