I currently pay for Virgin’s top package, Netflix, Amazon and Now TV for products that undiscounted total something in the region of £150 a month.
I don’t see how every provider spinning off their own products from the existing bundles will reduce what I pay, and I don’t see how it benefits anyone at the bottom end of the market either.
The reason to introduce these services is because they want a bigger slice of the pie than Sky/Virgin currently share.

But you are not taking account of the bundling option, which is the current basis on which Sky, Virgin and BT operate.
Why do you think that something similar won't happen with streaming services?
The point about the 'bottom end' customers is not adequately explained. Currently, subscribers have the choice between Amazon, Netflix and Now TV. Then comes along Starz, offering an option for £4.99. How is that not good news for the less well off?
The mistake you and others are making is the assumption that we will have to subscribe to
all streaming services. That is not the case. Nor is it the case that we will continue to pay for our current pay-tv scheduled channels that will go the way of the do-do before too long.
