The problem with this argument is, financially, all the content distributors and rightsholders we currently have right now can't survive on that price. I mean, you're breaking out the dumb pipe provider into their own price bucket, so it's not apples-to-apples with current cable companies, but think of how much an everything package with a cable or satellite company costs, and think about how much content you don't get in such a package.
- kiba 10y agoThey make the vast majority of their money on new content. Making money off their old catalog is more like a freebie when it's all milked out.

BUT instead of Netflix, Amazon, etc having their own site/app I use one aggregation site/app that seamlessly allows me to search for and watch all the content from the various services that I'm subscribed to in one interface.
