The article explains that the prices go up because the carriers rise prices so that the steaming services have to follow suit. What this doesn't explain is why the market accepts those prices. Why is there such a demand for the carrier channels? Shouldn't youtube and twitch channels and other content providers increase supply to the point that people don't care about the content that they can get from the carriers? Are those prices sustainable for the next generation or are carriers milking old customers who just have switched the medium but won't switch content? On the other hand, with phones going for $1,000+, there is enough money available to be spent. What's the upper overall limit on money that is spent on streaming and entertainment? If people can afford to spend $200 per month on entertainment, it's not unreasonable for streaming services to go for a $100 share.
