A new Apple TV will come next month, but Apple’s planned TV service will not to be completed this year.
According to many tasks, Apple will launch the long-awaited new version of # Apple TV next month. However, as previously rumored, no new TV service from Apple. This reports Bloomberg, who writes that the new service is now prominent 2016.
Apple should originally have liked to launch TV service at the same time as new hardware in September, when the autumn TV season kicks off. Because of lengthy negotiations with content providers, it is now not so. Agreements, including CBS and 21th Century Fox progresses slowly, and the parties are still far from reaching an agreement as unidentified sources.
The big stumbling block is about what such a television service to be cost. Apple is said to want to sell the service to their customers for $ 40 a month, equivalent to about SEK 340 excluding VAT. That’s about half of what most cable subscriptions cost in the US today, and TV companies require more money.
Large bandwidth requirements
In addition to agreements with suppliers reported Apple also have trouble securing sufficient bandwidth to ensure a good experience of flowing materials. Apple has cases in the last few years invested heavily in creating its own delivery network (CDN), where the data can be spread across different servers and be closer to the customers who want to access the material. The distribution of the operating system IOS 8 last year indicates a bandwidth capacity of over 3 terabits per second.
This is said to be not enough for the huge amounts of data a television service would entail. Apple reported negotiate with its longtime partner, Akamai, which operates a CDN network of over 17,000 servers. According to Bloomberg, Apple Akamai’s largest customers, but neither company has commented on Akamai’s possible role in an upcoming TV service.
