The service will be led by NBCUniversal\u2019s Bonnie Hammer, who has been promoted to its Chairman of Direct to Consumer and Digital Enterprises. Mark Lazarus has been named the Chairman of NBCUniversal Broadcast, Sports, Cable, and News, while Jeff Shell has been named the Chairman of NBCUniversal Film and NBCUniversal Entertainment, adding the latter to his purview.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NBCUniversal said that the forthcoming streaming service of the company would draw on its content library as well as technology from Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and Sky plc. Note that last year, the cheapest cable TV plans\u2019 provider acquired the broadcaster named Sky plc. The advertisement-supported streaming service will be available to pay-TV customers of NBCU in the US and main international markets at no cost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comcast Cable<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and Sky plc will offer the streaming service for free to their fifty-two million customers. An advertisement-free version of it will be available to customers for a fee. Non-pay TV customers will be able to purchase the service too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NBCUniversal also said that it would carry on licensing content to other platforms and studios, while keeping rights to certain titles for the upcoming service. The company is getting into the content streaming industry at a time when conventional cable TV providers are losing customers. It will face competition from the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, and new services planned by WarnerMedia of AT&amp;T<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and the Walt Disney Company.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2186\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2186\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2186\" class=\"wp-image-2186 size-medium\" title=\"Best Packages \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-Provider-e1486464465559-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Cable TV Providers\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-Provider-e1486464465559-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-Provider-e1486464465559-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-Provider-e1486464465559.jpg 932w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>High Speed Internet<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNBCUniversal has some of the world\u2019s most valuable intellectual property and top talent, both in front of and behind the camera.
