HBO announced plans for its own web video service all the way back in October 2014. So far, few details have been revealed about the service. However, in a call with analysts on February 11, 2015, the network famous for shows like Game of Thrones and Girls finally hinted at the cost of its upcoming subscription service.
HBO still didn’t reveal exact numbers for its subscription service, but mentioned how the network views the service as prime. “It’s a premium product and it will be priced accordingly,” said HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler on the call, as reported by Variety.
While there aren’t any details yet on pricing for HBO’s web video service, Jeffrey Cole has a few ideas of his own. Cole is the Director of the Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Cole spoke at the Interactive Advertising...

We can expect the character to be efficient, with no patience for wasted time, and capable of exploiting the weaknesses of those around him.
Obviously, this could be a very bad guy. The question is simply how much trouble will Kyle make for Vincent (Jay Ryan) and Catherine (Kristin Kreuk)? Since the character is expected to recur over several episodes,...
