As for HBO Now offering stand alone subscriptions, I'm sure that will happen as the media cos launch their own apps with only their own content on them. I've no doubt Disney will survive into the future, but I have doubts on some of the others.

Netflix has been the place to go to as it shows such a wide variety of content, but if media companies only allow content on their own streaming services, I'm not sure if Netflix would survive into the future and almost certain, based on their own made content, that Amazon Prime will not survive.
I think Netflix will be all right. I get it for their original content, of which they already have an extensive library, which is being added to all the time. Amazon needs to commission more good content as well, but it should be OK.

We should also see other providers coming along, and it will be very interesting to see how they fare. No doubt in value for money terms, subscriptions need to be cheaper than the big two if they are offering less content as people will be comparing with them.
