The basic problem here is few companies are willing to be cooperative. Look at the video market: We used to have a good solution: Netflix. However, a bunch of companies decided they wanted a bigger piece of the pie and now we have a whole bunch of competing streaming services which basically got rid of the idea.
It's not that Netflix wasn't a viable model, it was the companies being piggish. We see something of the sort with cable & satellite packages--companies who want to take a bigger piece of the pie and get upset when they get dropped or put into a separate package. The cost of entry into that market is so much higher that it hasn't totally fallen apart like the Netflix approach (yeah, Netflix is still out there--but the concept of being a one place for everything is gone. Too many companies want something exclusive to hope to lure you to them.)
