The problem with the US networks is the amount of adverts. A programme starts, then it goes into adverts within a few minutes of the show starting, then the opening credits start when the first batch of ads end - crazy!
As an addendum to my earlier post, US cableco Charter Communications (controlled by John Malone) is trialling a streaming service and Time Warner has taken a stake in Hulu.
So the US cablecos are getting into the streaming game after all.

All the people in the "know" are buying shares in Netflix, so you may be right. A bunfight may be coming about who gets to snap up Netflix first.
