March 14 news, according to foreign media reports, related sources said that Intel, as the world's largest chip maker, is currently considering implementing an Internet TV service, the service can be used on televisions, computers and mobile devices .

According to reports, Intel is currently beginning to touch the media companies and cable channels and hopes to gain the rights to broadcast programming. A person who did not wish to be identified disclosed the news. He said that the discussion about this incident was not public. The Wall Street Journal said that Intel will sell a set-top box that can connect to the network and can be used to transmit TV and video-free programs into the data stream.

It is understood that this program launched by Intel can enable consumers to watch the programs they want to watch on any network-connected device without ordering traditional cable or satellite TV services. The implementation of this plan will mark the emergence of the first new full-service pay TV system since AT&T and Verizon Communications entered the market.

Apple has not attracted many supporters in its TV set-top boxes at the same time. It claims that it is only considering this project as a "hobby." Google is trying to obtain a broadcast network to provide relevant content for Google TV services.
