One important change for video biz people that users won't see or care about: In the new set up Apple becomes the retailer, and the video host/distributor - up until now the video services were the ones setting prices and serving streams. That changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Wait! Doesn't Apple run a video store now? Yes, it does. But it hasn't gotten much traction (which is why Netflix is comfortable bailing on it). And Apple has noted the success Amazon has had selling subscriptions to other people's video services. So this is that. — PolitiTweet.org

That gives Apple the primary customer relationship, and the ability to set prices (particularly with bundles). Video partners have to be comfortable giving up that positioning with the hopes of much more volume in exchange. — PolitiTweet.org
