It puts the costs up for everyone (not just sports fans) unless it can be demonstrated that they bring 'new' customers in for providers/distributors to recover their costs from.
All that's changing is that content providers are trying to remove platforms from the equation. They hope by dealing directly with the consumer they will tip the balance of power back in their favour avoiding content/platform disputes that are a staple of the US cable industry.
In the case of Comcast they are seeking to vertically integrate the lot end to end as shown above. It's not more choice it's more
ways to make the
same choice.
