1 edit | The power of content Isn't it funny that ESPN can get 60 ISP's to pay them for content access while the RIAA and MPAA go about suing and three-striking? Their respective entertainment industries should fire them. Isn't it also funny that remaining smaller ISP's actually care that it isn't affordable for them? Boy, the RIAA and MPAA really aren't that bright are they? With movies and music they could have the internet begging at their doorstep. 
I kinda disagree with Karl on this one. I think the model will flourish for those that have content in high enough demand. The American Cable Association would seem to agree, concerned they'll have to pony up to ESPN's demands in order to satisfy their subscribers.
ESPN has the right person(s) on the job managing their internet division. Excellent power play.
