Intel says it does have plans to offer its own television service this year,
as rumors suggested, but it won’t quite be the a la carte alternative that cord cutters have dreamed about. Instead, Intel wants to offer “curated” bundles of TV channels, said Erik Huggers, General Manager of Intel Media, at this week’s
Dive Into Media conference. These bundles would be smaller than the packages that cable and satellite providers offer, and would allow for more customization, according to
Reuters, but they won’t necessarily be cheaper.
