(Photo by ALY SONG / Reuters) TAIPEI — China announced new military drills around Taiwan on Monday, eliciting concern from US President Joe Biden, a day after the scheduled end of Beijing’s largest exercises to protest last week’s visit to the island by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. China’s Eastern Theatre Command said it would conduct joint drills focusing on anti-submarine and sea assault operations – confirming the fears of some security analysts and diplomats that Beijing would keep pressure on Taiwan’s defenses.

The Launch Of HBO Max Had Minimal Effect On Q2 Due To Marketing Missteps
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The positive spin that AT&T T put on the launch of HBO Max does not reflect the reality of the Q2 results. On Thursday the CEO of AT&T, John T. Stankey, stated that, “HBO Max had a strong launch, on track to hit its targets we laid out for you last fall,” and that the launch was “flawless.” Perhaps the company lowballed expectations, but the results also reek of missed opportunities. While the report touts that HBO Max gained 4.1 million subscribers in one month, it barely slowed the bleed experienced by the traditional HBO. Combined, the traditional HBO and HBO Max finished the quarter with 36.3 million U.S. subscribers, up only 1.7 million (4.9%) from the 34.6 million at the end of 2019. The 4.1 million new subscribers all but vanished by the decline in cable and satellite subscribers. Worse, operating revenue fell for the combined HBO by 3.2% for the six-month ending. While AT&T states that HBO Max is … [Read more...] about The Launch Of HBO Max Had Minimal Effect On Q2 Due To Marketing Missteps
