Ya sports would be a hard thing to overcome. I imagine a day where we're not stuck with channels we don't want in a bundle but we can pick and choose channels directly from the providers themselves. Imagine purchasing a Flames or NHL package from CBC/TSN/Sportsnet for live streaming only. I'd jump at that.

When you hear of companies like Yahoo trying to bid on the Olympics to show the events via streaming, it gives me hope that we'll get there one day.
