Generally, I think this is a pretty good analysis. I think that it's very difficult to predict when this shift is going to happen though. Clearly the demographics are not in traditional TVs favor, but there are still significant lock-in effects due to sports and other live events. There is also a tremendous amount of media content that is owned by these traditional networks, and on top of that they seem to be verticalizing.
As a milllenial, I don't have a cable TV subscription, I pay for Netflix/Amazon due to the amazing original content and the non-stupid delivery on my internet devices. I do watch a ton of TV shows through 'alternative' means. For live sports, I either opt-out of the sport altogether, go to a bar, or go to excruciating lengths to pick up an online stream. There is no easy way to be a cord cutter due to a cluster-f* of blackouts, poor distribution systems, and ancient players trying desperately to cling to their old business models. My household is probably worth another $20-$50 a month for a competent streaming service. I will check out Cheddar. I'm also not alone, basically everyone in my income, age, and geographic breakdown is the same.
