I haven't admitted it on this list, but I'm filming Internet only TV shows. (At least one should be released by the end of this year.) So I think it's coming sooner than you might think.
Sure, I don't expect to pull a profit right away. And I'm not by any means spending millions of dollars. But Internet TV shows are on their way. (And I doubt I'm the only one doing this.)

I think this is a tricky question and a bit confusing.
I don't think we will see internet only dramas that are producing
weekly episodes with budgets in the tens of millions anytime soon.
This is one element of the TV template.
I think that internet entertainment networks will work. (Obviously or
I wouldn't work where I do.) But, it reminds me of a quote from Dave
Chappelle's interview on Inside the Actors Studio.
His father, a professor, asked him if he thought he could make it as a
comedian. He responded that if he could make as much money as a
teacher and be a comedian, then he would consider that making it.
But back to the template element. I don't think it is out of the
question, but I don't think it is mandatory either. I think the
cornerstone of digital entertainment is the freedom to use any format,
even a traditional one. I think it is like asking if television will
be able to succed with vaudeville programs at its inception. It did,
but it succeeded with other programs as well. Vaudeville, both over
television and in person slowly morphed into unrecognizable forms such
that the vaudeville format is considered passe, but the Chappelle show
is fresh and innovative.
