US cable giant Comcast is launching a streaming video service as it faces growing intrusions from companies like Netflix and a rising number of customers becoming more mobile, using tablets and phones for entertainment.
The company said on Monday the new service, called Stream, will cost $US15 a month.
Internet customers will be able to watch live TV from about a dozen networks, including HBO, on phones, tablets and laptops.
The service includes on-demand movies and shows.
Comcast Corp. says it will launch the service in Boston later this year and plans to make it available to all its customers by early 2016.
