Disney’s pending subscription streaming video service is projected to generate wide consumer appeal – if it is priced right, according to new data from The Diffusion Group.
When asked about the likelihood they would sign up for “a Netflix-like service” that included movies from Disney, National Geographic, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm (Star Wars); Disney TV shows for children; and original content, 43% of survey respondents said they were likely to sign up, while 27% very likely to subscribe.
Can Apple equal that?

I have no interest in watching, much less subscribing to Disney. Britbox, maybe.
Sad as it is, the days of walled garden islands of exclusive media are being ushered in. Eventually there may be 3 or 4 services with competing content. People will just have to island hop once they get bored of a certain set of content.
Little islands of exclusion is not exactly what the consumer really wish upon themselves, but I think the media conglomerates will make it so all the same.
