It has already happened with iTunes and the music industry, it has essentially happened with the movie industry and netflix. There are numerous video games out there that are free and you pay for extra content. I understand that there would be huge opposition to this type of model but theoretically they are the last of a dying breed.

Initially there could be huge push back to this, but if Intel is able to work a deal with companies that would provide just about any channel out there to any person in the world, it could prove quite lucrative.

ie: Flames fan moves to Europe for work and they subscribe to CBC for HNIC and sportsnet west for other coverage, those networks are still getting that money, even though they would have lost that subscriber due to them moving.
