Looks like Pay TV providers will be wanting to deal with their customers directly as opposed to going through the likes of Virgin Media and Sky etc.
Yes, I think the writing is on the wall for TV broadcasting in the future. I have been saying for a while now that Virgin's boxes should give us access to many more video streaming apps such as Amazon or Now TV so that it is a step in front of its competitors. They will need to find a clever way of monetising these services so that the eventual decline of existing subscription packages will not lead to reducing income.

Perhaps Virgin can come up with some streaming packages of its own. Maybe it could also come up with its own streaming stick, extending its TV reach outside of its existing network boundaries.

There is further discussion on the linear channels thread, just to avoid duplication.
