NimbleTV Brings TV Everywhere to New York, Without Permission From the TV Industrial Complex

Want to watch the TV you’ve already paid for, anywhere you want to watch it, whenever you want to watch it? You can’t. But NimbleTV says it can change that. The startup, which wants to attach itself to the TV Industrial Complex by delivering pay TV over the Web, says it is now open for business in the New York City area, following a year-long trial. Nimble’s consumer offering, and its underlying business, have been challenging to explain. However, to sum it up: NimbleTV offers portable TV, at a price, in a way that might appeal to some people who are ok with paying for TV, and will pay a premium for flexibility. But the setup seems pretty precarious for the time being.
