It what can only be considered great news, HBO says that starting next year they will be offering HBO with no need to have cable. 

HBO's Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler promised HBO would be offering its streaming service à la carte starting next year.

This is huge news to cord cutters and it will likely encourage more people to give up cable and their rapidly growing price hikes. 

HBO did not say how much the streaming only service will cost, but it has said in the past that if offered it will be at a fair price.

Stay tuned....
