That's one way of looking at it, for sure.
I'm interested in how it ends up coming together. If they end up
increasing pricing on a service model that is losing subscribers, the only logical result is they will lose even more.... Which is what needs to happen for the industry to break in the first place.
Overall I think the pay and pay model will kill off all the channels that are literally spam in my TV guide, and for that reason alone it's a good thing.
