Maybe there is a correction.
Or maybe, instead of charging ALL cable viewers the current, modest amount, the model switches to where
actual viewers pay a
higher amount (resulting in similar revenues).
In other words, once the cable subsidy is gone, the cost of watching sports will skyrocket.
Anyone who thinks things are going to be free (or super cheap) in the future, because internet, is going to be disappointed, IMO.
