BT to include Amazon Prime in TV offering as it unveils convergence plan

Quote:

BT is to include Amazon Video as part of its TV offering as it pivots its fixed broadband service to become part of a “converged network division” under new consumer business CEO Marc Allera.

In addition to the Amazon Video app BT said it would make Sky’s Now TV available to TV customers from next year.

The addition of Amazon’s offering makes BT the first UK service provider to embrace the e-commerce giant’s Prime Video service, allowing users to access TV series and movies including originals and exclusive series such as The Grand Tour, The Marvellous Mrs Maisel and Vikings.

I have a BT branded Youview box in the bedroom. Wonder if the Amazon and Now TV apps will be available on that too? Don't have a BT subscription.

I seriously doubt it, no sub so how would they get any money out of you for the streamed content?

TalkTalk, the telecoms and broadband group, has struck a £175m deal to offload part of its business-to-business (B2B) customer base to Daisy Group, a privately owned rival.

Sky News has learnt that TalkTalk will unveil the transaction on Thursday, alongside annual results that are expected to show a sharp fall in profits after a difficult year for the company.

Sources said the deal with Daisy consisted of TalkTalk's roughly 80,000 business customers with which it has a direct billing relationship.

The vast majority of TalkTalk's B2B arm by revenues and number of customers will be unaffected by the move, which is said to be aimed at continuing the company's efforts to simplify itself.

Led by founder Charles Dunstone, who returned to an executive role last year, TalkTalk has been drawn into a price war with broadband and telecoms rivals such as BT Group and Sky, the owner of Sky News.

Investors - the largest of whom is Sir Charles - have‎ had to swallow cuts to the dividend and a £200m share sale announced earlier this year.

TalkTalk is forecast by analysts to have made just £50m in pre-tax profit in the year to March, down from £161m the previous year.

Not at all surprised with the drop in profits at talk-talk considering the way they treat their customers
