Careful what you wish for? I envision this coming full circle. When people find it a pain in the ass to buy from a dozen different streaming companies we'll end up buying for a content aggregator who will become the 21st century cable company.

Cord cutters seemingly want a la cart. I certainly don't want to pay for ESPN or any sports package. I will never watch it. And a sports fan with no kids may not want to pay for Disney Jr, so why should they pay for it? I'm all for moving everything to streaming. But perhaps we can find a better way to do it? Something that doesn't use as much bandwidth? Like a local caching server that can cache the most frequently watched shows and movies? I can see that as being a licensing nightmare though.

CBS's version of netflix, hulu, hbo go....you name it. Similar to how Voyager debued, I guess, to launch the United Paramount Network... What better way to move more people to streaming?
