Intel, the world’s largest chipmaker, is negotiating financial terms with the companies, according to the people, who sought anonymity because the talks are private. The media companies have signed off on the broad outlines of the proposed service, they said, with some aspects still to be settled. Other network owners aren’t as far along, the people said.
