Why has it taken so long definite Apple TV? We started talking about the first full TV Apple after Steve Jobs confirmed the product officially in his biography. The fact that Steve Jobs talked so openly about the Apple television hinted that the product was near. Analysts believe, then, that the final Apple TV would market in 2012 , then in 2013 and we are in 2014 and no one dares to predict dates of submission.
What has happened then? The answer, as we have known for some time: Apple has tried to reach an agreement with the cable companies in the US to broadcast their live contents through the TV, no need for a cable in between . Apple's proposed agreement bother industry was not willing to give the profit margin that Apple demanded. No issue content, the Apple TV could not go to market .
This situation could have a turnaround soon. A member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a new law that allows the expansion of television services for other platforms than cable or satellite , ie, that these companies would no longer dominate the market and the doors would open to technology companies. This way, viewers could watch live TV content through an Apple TV, your Xbox One or Google TV.
This legislation has just been given, so it is too soon to know whether will succeed or become stagnant.
