A few months ago, HBO’s CEO, Richard Plepler, raised some hopes that HBO Go could be a stand alone service by saying it makes sense to package HBO GO with cable or phone company broadband services. But now the CEO of Time Warner, Jeff Bewkes, is saying not so fast. The company doesn’t want to ruin the relationship it already has with over 40 million cable subscribers by making HBO GO a stand alone streaming service. Bewkes said, “We have the rights to do it and we would do it if we thought it was in our economic best interest.”
