said by needforspeed59:Given: cable TV programmers such as MTV and ESPN makes tons of money off the monthly sub fees paid by cable, satellite and telcos and ultimately you and I. So, these programmers are just going to let their stuff out there for free? LOL! I don't see how that business model works. Maybe I missed something that explains this in the posts above. Pay per byte pays the distributers; not the programmers. I don't believe ad revenue will make up for the loss of sub fees. I think this will be another RIAA-type battle.
A) if more people ditch cable and satelite these networks will have to find a different way to get revenues. There is only so much they can charge cable/sat companies.
