(Telecompaper) Apple's planned over-the-top TV service is delayed until at least 2016, people familiar with the plans told Bloomberg. Talks to license programming from TV networks such as those owned by CBS and 21st Century Fox are progressing slowly, the report said. Apple also doesn't have the network capacity in place to ensure a good viewing experience, said some of the sources. Without enough content deals in place, Apple has scrapped plans to announce the service at a September event in San Francisco, which would have coincided with the beginning of the new network TV season. The company still plans to introduce a more powerful version of its Apple TV set-top box at the event, but the live TV service will have to wait until next year. The main stumbling block in its talks with content providers is price, according to the report. Apple wants to offer a package of popular channels for USD 40 a month, the report said. That's roughly half of the average cable bill in the US.
