Could Roku Mobile Streaming be the next major play for Roku? Well if
you haven't heard, this week AT&T and Time Warner announced their
plans to merge which was not well received. Pretty much everyone who
might have a say inside the beltway think it's a bad idea. And
listening to the CEOs of AT&T and Timer Warner on CNN trying to sell
it to the American public made the idea even worst. Whatever happens,
this announcement forced many of us to think about something even more
asinine. A possible merger of Verizon and Comcast.

| Could A Roku Mobile Streaming App be the next play for Roku? |
For
cordcutters having a love affair with streaming all their media on Roku
and Apple TV, the mobile app arena still has some territory that
remains uncharted. Roku is still beating the pants off Apple TV as the
most dominant set top box while grinding Google Chromecast and Boxee
into the asphalt with its heel. So if, or perhaps when, the big ISP
providers do merge Roku could further leverage itself my introducing
Roku Mobile Streaming into the mix.
Roku
already has thousands of channels offering an untold amount of media
across its streaming devices. But if they began offering exceptional
proprietary content on a dedicated channel that could be stream through
the Roku player and Roku Stick, it will be a game changer. For Roku
will not only sell more devices in the long term. By incorporating a
Roku Mobile Streaming App that allows users to access proprietary
content, public, and private channels, they will be prepared for
whatever technological advances the big telecom and ISP providers might
forge.
More Reasons For Roku Mobile Streaming
The Amazon
Video app allows you to stream content on your mobile device while
downloading others. Netflix allows you to stream anything within your
geographical region. The Comcast Xfinity app allows you to download
some content to be viewed at a later date while streaming other bodies
of work on demand. A Roku Mobile Streaming App that affords cordcutters
the option of streaming or downloading would be a game changer. Apple
TV will never be able to recovery since they nickle and dimes customers
for just about everything worth viewing. A major turnoff!
