TECHi's Take
Intel executives, who have promised to launch a Web-based pay TV service by the end of 2013, are now looking for a strategic backer to help them fund and distribute the service. If they don’t find one soon, it’s possible the project will be scrapped.
People familiar with Intel’s plans said the company has been talking to both Amazon and Samsung in the hope of keeping the service afloat.
