There seems to be a lot of frustration about Apple not being able to finish negotiations with the US broadcast networks for some form of video streaming service. This looks like Cringely's solution to the problem: just own the content at the source of creation and then the downwind problems will sort themselves out in Apple's favor. My idea? Apple should purchase Dish Network/EchoStar and merge their satellite and Sling systems into the Apple ecosystem. (You also get to own a fleet of deployed geosync satellites. That could be cool for other applications down the line).
