Wow. I have to admit that I didn't expect to see anything like this from them for at least a couple more years.

We'll see how long it takes to bring it to the US though. I'd guess that their cable co ties are too strong here to do it anytime soon.



They might also be using them as a test market and if successful, will look into bringing it over the US. I hope so.


I think the answer is probably "as soon as people stop giving money to cable cos for HBO".


This might also be a technical reaearch project. test the weapons that are avail, etc. Go back and improve, before the real war.


The real war? Couldn't the market for HBO be bigger in Europe than in the US? (given that there's more people here ;)


The service, named HBO Nordic AB, will allow customers in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark to stream subtitled versions of the same content available in the US


oh, ok :)


I wonder how long this has been in the works.
