Which is why they should focus on being a carrier. Get the netflix catalog + if you want HBO you cant get a package for X price. Their expertise is in streaming. They should have been selling the technology stack to Paramount, Disney, CBS, whoever.

I think Amazon might be doing what you're describing. You can sign up for Showtime, Starz, AMC, etc inside of Prime Video and get all the content in one interface. But HBO for example has pulled their stuff, so sometimes companies just don't want to play together.

Edit: You know who else is doing this? Cable companies! You can sign up for HBO and get that content right in your Xfinity app, or search/browse on your set-top box and stream "on demand".
