That is true, in which case, the benefits of streaming are already there. I completely agree that if your only TV expenditure is on Now TV, then costs will rise as Sky lose rights to other content providers.

Unless, of course, people select the free or reduced subscription AVOD versions of these sites.

Indeed, and there's no doubt that global pay tv will keep expanding for the foreseeable future. However, the picture is quite different in developed countries such as the UK. The article mentions the 'alarming' amount of cord cutting in the US, which is similar to what we will be facing in the coming years.
