The service we rolled out was identical to any cable system - but
better. We of course could overlay outages messages, etc. You could
also view your content from anywhere with a mobile device and a login,
including your DVR'd recordings.

I fully believe that most content will become their own services /
apps in the future, but for the *majority* of current cable
subscribers, the transition will take a long time.
