If the Hollywood companies each have a share of that £24 pot as presently, whether evenly distributed or not, they only get a share of that £24, not all of it each. So, if the £24 channel bundle were eliminated, the companies still only need the same amount of direct subscribers to make up the numbers, which is a share of £24, not all of it.
I think maybe jfman is making too many assumptions. There are many possibilities and who knows how this will all end. However, I think there will be at least half a dozen major streaming services available to us in the next few years, once superfast broadband has been rolled out all over the country.

You've only got to look at what's happening in the US to realise we have a way to go yet before we catch up with them!
