In my mind it's simple.� The streaming companies need to have a channel within their streaming system to get a message to a 'currently active customer' (emergency popup notification that appears when their app is open or their website is active with an authenticated user).� The Oh geez. Just on my PS4, there's streaming apps for Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Playstation Store, Peacock, Tubi, ESPN+, AppleTV, YouTube (less than half of which I actually subscribe to, but I haven't found a big enough crowbar to remove the others, they keep returning) - and that's probably not a complete list.
It also begs the question of what constitutes a "streaming service". Is my marketing department's slick new ad campaign video a "streaming service"? I could easily get engrossed in its valuable messaging and miss that tornado alert. Inline messaging is a complete dead end on the internet. Inline was because there was no other reasonable way to message on broadcast tv. That is definitely not the case now. Mike
