HBO Go to Partner with Internet Service Providers?

Deadline reports that Richard Plepler, CEO of HBO network has hinted that they may consider offering HBO Go mobile in partnership with Internet service providers. The exec told Reutors this week, "Maybe HBO Go, with our broadband partners, could evolve."

Despite the fact that HBO Go has only 6.5 million subscribers, Plepler suggested that it could increase its audience by going beyond its traditional cable TV partners to offer access as part of broadband ISP service plans. Customers could pay $50 a month for their broadband and an extra $10 or $15 for HBO.

However John Bradley-West, who stars in HBO's popular series Game of Thrones commented that illegal piracy might be reduced if HBO offered a season pass via Apple's iTunes store. For the time being, HBO has no plans to alter its Game of Thrones distribution windows for DVDs and downloads.
