Although it's not part of their core business, from the news that's leaked about Steve Jobs' discussions with a CBS exec who refused to license CBS content because he felt he would be cannibalizing their profits, perhaps Apple could purchase one of these stations to spur the adoption of a new model for TV watching. It might cost them a pretty penny at first, but if it forces the other broadcasters to fall in line, it would be worth it. Another obvious "lateral" purchase would be a cellular company. It doesn't make sense to keep pandering to the desires of the likes of AT&T and Verizon (4 GB data limit on LTE iPad WTF?) when there's so much more potential that could be realized with a good data plan for iDevices.
