As I've been banging the drum from some time: streaming isn't exempt from economics. It isn't the game changer that Old Boy etc. are claiming it to be. It slightly reduces the barrier to entry to pay-tv (no need for specialist equipment, lower price for now). However consumers don't have an infinite amount of time to watch TV, nor an infinite supply of money from which to pay for it. There isn't space for everyone to just join in and assume each consumer is going to find an extra £5-10 a month to cover it.
