(Reuters) – Verizon Communications (VZ.N) said on Monday it would offer streaming subscriptions to Netflix (NFLX.O) and Warner Bros Discovery-owned (WBD.O) Max platforms as a bundle to its customers.
Verizon “myPlan” subscribers can opt for the ad-supported plans for Netflix and Max for a combined $10 a month starting Thursday.
It is the latest bundle Verizon has added to its “myPlan” package, which allows users to subscribe to services such as Apple Music, Walmart+, Walt Disney’s streaming services, among others, each for $10 a month.
Telecom providers are increasingly tying up with streaming platforms to make their plans more attractive for consumers, while streamers are looking at these partnerships as ways to attract viewers.
