Why Intel Corporation (INTC)’s Big Plans Are Beating the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI)’s Drop

Intel won’t be able to catch up to QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) immediately, but the company is also making inroads in other areas as it pivots away from the declining PC market’s. The company continues to explore developing a TV business, and Intel has made waves by offering to pay considerably more to media providers than traditional cable businesses. While Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is expected to pay more, considering that it’s still in the start-up phase and lacks viewership, a significant premium could be enticing to media developers looking for a new niche. Intel plans to launch the business later this year, but if it can’t hammer out deals with enough major content-providers by that time, it’ll have to push back plans until 2014.

Will it work? Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)’s plans are still developing, so it’s too early to say whether or not the company will succeed in competing with the likes of Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) TV or Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) TV. Investors should keep an eye on the developments, however, as Intel’s post-PC plans will drive the future of this company.
