Redbox wants to start streaming before Santa comes
The Redbox Instant by Verizon joint venture wants to have its Netflix (s NFLX) competitor up and running in time for the holidays, according to a Bloomberg report. A Verizon (s VZ) exec told the news agency that the service is currently being tested by 500 of its employees, and that there is going to be a short public beta test before it finally launches between late November and mid-December.
Finally, a story not about the new iPhone. Question: is Netflix and Amazon Prime successful enough to warrant another player in that space?
