Intel Corp., the world’s biggest chipmaker, is considering creating an online pay-television service that works on TV sets, computers and mobile devices, according to three people with knowledge of the plans.
Intel reached out to media companies and cable channels about getting the rights to broadcast shows, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions aren’t public. Intel would sell a Web-connected set-top box capable of streaming TV and video-on-demand programming, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.
