You have come up with another canard; WHAT 5X PREMIUM?
You never learn, Craig. Hulu on demand costs $8/mo. Hulu on demand without ads
costs $12/mo. Hulu with live streams costs $40/mo. What is 8 * 5, Craig?
Aside from sports fans, who have no demand elasticity, why would any other cord
cutter care so much about those live streams? Want live news? No problem! Get
it online (e.g. CBSN) or get it OTA. Why pay a 5X price premium? (Have to
repeat things many times.)
Please don't start playing these "lying with statistics" games again in 2017.
You've never understood statistics, Craig, nor have you ever understood trend
lines. Your arguments have always been based on what people do today, a
snapshot in time, or on conveniently forgetting numbers that we've discussed
many times over. That's why I started saving the important links. Otherwise,
you would be back to claiming that only 4% of TV is viewed online, and you
would still be claiming that HDTV is a "niche market." Tell my it ain't so.
To Date, NO STREAMING MVPD SERVICE offers the equivalent programming
to a local facilities based MVPD or DBS service.
And a growing number of people couldn't care less.
You seem to miss the basics here. The old model was constrained, by technology,
to be formatted (boated) as it was. When trains and then the automobile were
invented, you could also claim that NO TRAIN SERVICE OFFERS WHAT A STAGECOACH
SERVICE OFFERS. And guess what, no one cares.
