Yes. I think this is exactly what will hapen. We have got used to TV providers providing every channel. It doesn't have to be that way. I foresee the situation over the next few years where you will have to have two (or more) decoders if you want to receive each channel.
As the current deals run out I can see a point where thr TV providers will buy programmes on a non exclusive basis and, rather like gas or elctricty, you buy the programmes you from your choice of provider.
