Apple is conversing with TV developers around another Web TV administration it might want to dispatch not long from now. Yet for the time being, its not conversing with NBCUniversal, the organization that claims NBC and a large group of prominent link channels.

That is not on account of the developer would like to be a piece of the administration, says NBCUniversal* holder Comcast — this is on the grounds that Apple hasn't approached them.

Comcast recognized its non-chats with Apple yesterday in a letter it sent to the Federal Communications Commission as a component of its push to procure Time Warner Cable. The letter is a reaction to a documenting from Stop Mega Comcast, a coalition restricted to the arrangement.

Stop Mega Comcast's note, documented on Wednesday, said, "Comcast may be withholding partnered NBCUniversal ("NBCU") content with an end goal to frustrate the passage of potential new feature contenders." The note refered to a late Wall Street Journal report that said Apple wasn't conversing with NBCUniversal on account of a "dropping out in the middle of Apple and NBCUniversal guardian organization Comcast."

That is somewhat right however basically wrong, Comcast lawyer Francis Buono kept in touch with the FCC: "Not just has NBCUniversal not "withheld" programming from Apple's new pursuit, Apple has not in any case approached NBCUniversal with such an appeal." I've approached Apple for input.

Open affirmation that something isn't occurring doesn't frequently qualify as news. At the same time this is Apple, and Apple TV, so there you go. The extent that I know, nobody that is included in the discussions has recognized them openly, so document this in the "better than literally nothing" bureau.

As I wrote in February, Apple needs software engineers to help it make a TV membership benefit that it would offer specifically to purchasers over the Web. The thought is to construct a "thin package" of channels that would incorporate some, however not all, of the diverts offered in conventional pay TV offerings.

Dish's Sling TV as of now offers a $20-a-month rendition of this idea that incorporates ESPN, AMC, CNN and more than twelve different channels. Sony's Vue, which is taking off now, does likewise however begins at $50 a month. Sony's bundle incorporates NBCUniversal stations however does exclude ESPN or whatever other stations possessed by Disney.

The channel lineup Apple is looking for its future administration is one of numerous subtle elements that remaining parts indistinct to the TV business, including a portion of the administrators who are conversing with Apple.
