You may be correct, however a lot of people just carry on subscribing even when they no longer get any value from it - sort of apathy really

Completely agree pip which is great for the user but not a great business model.

Yep, a lot of companies rely on and make a fortune from inertia.

I certainly won't do that. When the time is right for me to give up the pay tv channels, I will look to spending the same amount on the increased content available to me.

Sorry but you told us it would be a much better world as we'd all save money it's there in your post history.

The assumption is incorrect. The majority of people do not just go from trial period to special deal to trial period, as is what some people on this forum do. Most do not behave in this way.

What I said was that it will mean more content for less money - ie better value.

Strange like a politician he has completely forgotten what he has ever said now.

(Sigh). Yes, it will be cheaper. You will have a range of streaming services to choose from, each giving you a huge range of material. Instead of all those moronic fillers between the rare good stuff, the choice will be much more in line with what you want to watch.
Most people will choose one or more services to suit their preferences. I would not have thought many people would choose more than four or five because that would give you more choice than you could actually cope with. There is no point in paying for services you don't have time to watch.
From time to time, I would guess that many would drop one or two services and subscribe to others instead. That freedom comes with not having contracts that tie you to any one service over a long period.
The result is far more choice and flexibility at less cost.And let's not forget that in addition to the paid subscription services, we will also have the advertisement supported services available to us (although personally, I would not watch any streaming service with unskippable advertisements).
Seriously, I don't know what is not to like about this.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
But the sum total of getting equivalent content from a range of distributors will be more expensive.

Remember broadband without a bundled TV package will cost more

Depends you say decent broadband but hyperoptic already has 1gb broadband out and no need for tv but like vms/bts fastest tier it comes at a price £60p/m but you can get that down to £40p/m.
Zen are another one rolling out ultra fast upto 500mbs at £49p/m so no need for tv there are more broadband companies than sky or virgin my friend.
