FIFA+ yes, Disney+ no

What do you think about the fact that Swisscom has now activated the FIFA+ app on the TV box, but “refuses”, probably for financial reasons, to activate Disney+?

@roku73 Is it financial reasons or is the reason that Disney doesn’t provide an app compatible with the Blue World? If the latter wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t understand it, to be honest. But even then, regardless of whether this strange football organization provides an app with old games and self-promotion, with English commentary, I would have no understanding.

It is also possible that Disney+ has exclusive contracts with other providers. Then, regardless of the price, it would not be possible for Swisscom to offer this channel for legal reasons.

As far as I know, only those who access the apps from Google Playstore, such as here. E.g. Quickline.

Abroad, for example on Sky with the Sky Q Box, Diseny+ is available.

In addition to contractual, technical or financial reasons, marketing considerations could also play a role at Disney: after all, they have now overtaken Netflix in terms of reach and perhaps think they can do it without Swisscom etc., which is quite realistic. I also find the software used on ATV to be the best of all streaming services (personal opinion).

They are not providers, but the app is also available on common game consoles.
