Analyst: Bleeding Blockbuster in triage

Thu, 03/25/2010 - 21:36 by Inderjit Singh

Dallas -- Blockbuster's new contracts with T-Mobile and Warner Bros. are a triage strategy to keep the U.S. movie rental firm from going under, an industry analyst said.

Blockbuster is offering on demand video through the HTC HD2 smart phone, produced by T-Mobile, a step that puts it ahead of rival Netflix, CNNMoney.com reported Thursday.

But Blockbuster, with a debt of $1 billion, is losing money at retail outlets and trying to adjust. This week, the company signed a deal that will allow it to offer films from Warner Bros. about a month earlier than Neflix or Redbox.

Bellevue -- National telephone service carrier T-Mobile said it would offer U.S. customers a smartphone that is not connected to a service contract.

The firm said the deals will include Blackberry phones for $59.99 that include one month of phone service. After that, customers pay $50 per month for additional service, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.

Lacking a long-term obligation, the phones are available without consumers going through a credit check.

London -- British telecommunications regulators said personal data from millions of mobile phone subscribers had been misappropriated, an official report said.
