HBO to Launch Stand-Alone Streaming Service [View all]

HBO is cutting the cord, threatening the traditional cable-TV bundle of channels by offering its popular service directly to viewers over the Internet.

Time Warner Inc. on Wednesday said HBO would launch the stand-alone, online streaming version of its service next year.

It will primarily target the 10 million people in the U.S. who have an Internet connection but no pay-television service, said Richard Plepler, chairman and chief executive of HBO, during a Time Warner investor presentation in New York.
