How far will Disney push it?

So Disney is buying part of Fox :: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fox-m-a-walt-disney/disney-deal-set-to-value-fox-at-more-than-75-billion-source-idUSKBN1E7348

Will be interesting to see how they play the OTT game from here on out – they have Fox doing their own online stuff, Disney is planning to build Disney online and with this deal they now control Hulu as well.

I don’t see the point in keeping them all going and I personally would prefer the killer Netflix competitor but would they use Hulu or go all in on a Disney only OTT play?

Also listen to this podcast with The Prof :: https://overcast.fm/+BcN1HLmuU – where The Prof talks about Disney going nuclear and making sure their content is only on their OTT property and somehow doing a Disney prime for content and access to Disney offline – the Theme Parks.

Recurring revenue FTW!

Not missing the USA

I miss my family a ton. I miss old friends, camping, shake shack and long motorcycle rides along the Cali coast to nowhere. I really miss those things.

But what is going in America is scary. Trump, the FCC and the takeover of large unchecked tech giants is not a great future.

If you don’t already read Redef – you should start. Great daily curation of awesome web reads and the best part – the Rant from Jason Hirschhorn the Curator.

I love his work. I am hoping him and the Prof get together some time for a the Prof’s video series.
