Mind you, as a consumer I'm not complaining about low prices. It's awesome. But I'm also mindful of the economics --
I pay $50+ / month for my cable TV subscription. I don't like it. I'm not "happy" about it. But you know what -- I haven't cancelled it yet either, so something's keeping me there -likely the 'flip channels' factor, which is nice and brainless, and the availability of live news - MSNBC, CNN, local news, etc. Sometimes you just want to sit down and turn the TV on, and I'm willing to pay for that.
But the point remains that there's a big gap between $9.99 Spotify / $8 Netflix and $50-$100 cable, both of which many people are willing to pay for.
