Yes and no

There will always be a middleman, the key is to understand who it is and invest in their company to collect the windfall when you reach retirement.

An over-the-air option becomes more vital. Put the best stuff on it, get a chunk of that advertising, and hope the product lures enough to subscribe for greater access.

Have 3 tiers of that: 10 games ,25 games, and total.

yea with the advent of high end streaming service, (getting 2000 lines of res in real time) the live (mostly sports) events are about the only thing holding the traditional TV package providers together. Most of the big guys, Verizon, ATT, Comcast are competing with themselves in that regard, they provide the network media layer and consumer package TV. While they don't want to cut their own throats at the same time whenever they can under cut the other guy, well, should be a win for us.

The number of people who want traditional "surf Tv" vs those who want stream on demand, are quickly leveling off with each other. Cable co's are invested in an archaic system so it won't die out tomorrow but it's time is definelty on the clock.
