That article makes a good point - pay-TV is bought for a household and a single package from say HBO won't cover a household's needs. I think there's also another reason in the US - the best broadband services come bundled with cable and are priced to discourage just broadband-only purchases. Competitors to cable companies just offer poor ADSL services unless you're in a Google-cabled area or your state has invested in its own fibre network.
