I would guess you will pay for each channel, small bundles of products, or the total package. They haven't defined how they will capitalize the business or consumer pricing.
No of course they will make us pay. For years non sports fans subsidized us sports watchers via the cable bundle. Now that cable is dying they will squeeze us for every dime to make up for that loss of revenue. They being the sports leagues.
In theory, direct services like these should be cheaper and the cost of Internet shouldn't increase. Cable companies already don't make much on cable and mostly offer incentives because providing Internet is pretty cheap and is where the margins are. (Same with landline and mobile services)
This. I cut the cord 3-4 years ago and I’m now paying 2-3x what I was paying at the start. I’ve looked going back to cable, but it’s crazy expensive now too. End result, if you want TV and especially sports you’re going to have to pay.We recently cut the cord, and I'm actually spending more. It's been a benefit to the local sports pub though.
except there's competition in the ISP market, especially with fiber providers.
You're doing something wrong then.We recently cut the cord, and I'm actually spending more. It's been a benefit to the local sports pub though.
Love this. No more Hulu live. I’d pay $30 a month for it during basketball seasonZ
As of now, no NBC, Peacock, CBS, regional sports nets, Golf Channel,... which carry a ton of sports including NFL, Masters golf, Olympics, Red Sox, Yankees, Knicks, Celtics,.... And, there are a ton of issues here. For example, if Warner Brothers doesn't win some of the NBA content, they are probably out of the alliance. They didn't issue many details, so right now, this is just an idea.
Don't know, but I do know the existing tax and surcharge structure that overlay cable doesn't overlay Internet at least not yet. Even if your supposition is right, though, and cost escalated some point in the future, it makes zero sense not to take advantage of the differential today.
Per above, YouTube TV
And there will still be commercials.
YouTube TV isn't much cheaper, and you don't get Disney and ESPN+ with it. I guess we need a guide on the cheapest way to watch UConn. Hulu live+ Disney+ ESPN+ is probably one of the better deals out there.
