Sky have already embraced this with the changes they are bringing in soon and I am sure that VM have advanced plans, since they've been promoting on demand for years. They need to get many more VM Exclusives and plenty more besides in HBO-type deals to make it worthwhile to continue to subscribe to cable services. This, and ensuring that the STBs become known as good value streamers, is the key to ensuring the survival of cable tv.
Streaming will only be cheaper than linear if there are only A small number of streamers.

If the rights to different sports are spread over a larger number of streamers all wanting there £15-25 pm it is going to be more expensive for me
