Retailing giant Walmart is mulling a move into the subscription VOD business — to take on the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, according to a published report.
According to a report by The Information, citing anonymous sources, Walmart is contemplating introducing a streaming-video product with price point of $8 per month as well as launching a free, ad-supported video service.
Walmart reps didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Two years ago, Vudu launched a free streaming service, “Movies On Us,” which is ad-supported.
Walmart may decide to not go forward with the launch of a streaming service, The Information report added.
