The TiVo can host third party services’ apps and Berkett says he wants “no walled gardens”. “We have no fears about bringing a Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI) or a Lovefilm in to Virgin.
“The application and content is the key to the wallet but, in our case, it is not the wallet.” Translation - unlike BSkyB (NYSE: BSY), Virgin is no longer an integrated network-and-content company; it’s just a network. “It allows us to be completely open versus our competitors, who need to be closed.”
Virgin has been talking with Spotify about hosting its music player on TiVo. If Berkett’s openness about his TV platform extends to his other devices, that could also yield a cross-sold mobile and broadband deal for Spotify through Virgin.
