The Real Trends:
Toward TV Everywhere, not individual subscriptions for small packages of
channels from one content conglom.
Toward SVOD subscriptions - ala Netflix - for pre produced content.
Toward Virtual MVPDs for anywhere, anytime viewing of authenticated content.

I can do it now. There are apps for CBS interactive, CBS Sports, CBS News and
other CBS content. And I can access CBS.com via the web browsers on my phone
and iPAD, then mirror to Apple TV.
By the way, when I access CBS.com they are now offering a free one week
subscription to CBS All Access, instead of access to their content. Looks like
your free ride may be coming to an end.
