I would like to see the same outcome as the author of this post, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. The television content business (cable TV networks) and the television distribution business (cable system operators) have a very mutually benefical relationship with regard to bundled services.

Google & Apple will have to end-run the service providers TV offerings using the web (probably delivered on the same pipe) to compete.
