Verizon rumored to be working with Redbox on its internet video streaming service

If you are still attempting to make the pieces of the new ” Verizon is launching an excessive video service ” rumor fit, perhaps the missing element is information detailed by TechCrunch suggesting Big Red is the unnamed partner aligned with Redbox’s upcoming online video efforts . Consistent with the rumor, both would connect like Voltron, or, like Dish Network and Blockbuster — without the complete falling into ruin, bankruptcy and eventual purchase section of the tale — for a subscription service offering movies for streaming and download to lots of devices. Allegedly dubbed Project Zoetrope, it’d launch this spring however unlike Netflix or Amazon Prime Instant Video’s all-you-can-eat approach, its hook is described as a credit based system allowing a definite collection of movies to be streamed or downloaded each month. It is all very sketchy presently, but Redbox has gone dark about its streaming plans and it’s with regards to time we heard something there, so we’ll add a different thing to maintain our eyes and ears open for at CES in January.
