Maybe so.

It’s a bunch of different streaming services allowing a pass through
of the content revenue right now.
What will eventually happen, IMO, is content providers will get sick
of all the middle men, get together with the device guys and create a
universal protocol(s).
Content will be directly accessible and paid for from any viewing
device, using an open standard access protocol/system.
Kind of like Netflix/Hulu/Youtube, except not owned by anyone, and
skinable.
You just pick up your phone, load the ‘skin’ you like, and start
ordering and viewing content.
Since you would be buying directly from the content producer, cutting
out all the middlemen, you pay cents for a show/series instead of dollars.
Once that happens, everyone not making actual content or selling an
actual screen hardware device, is screwed.
I give it three to five years.

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.

+1. Why can't these guys just make a deal with Netflix or Hulu.
But then again, that would make it subscription tv, right? 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.
Thank you,

What is CBS All Access?
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?
