Right, but of my monthly TWC bill, $45 is for internet and $90 is for cable. If I cancel the cable because I can watch everything online, they'll have a very difficult time recouping that $1080/year another way.
That's bad for the content producers as well (NFL, MLB, etc). They don't want their best customers going out of business. Nothing online can offer them anywhere close to the money they get from cable and DirectTV contracts (yet).
So although there may be some additional revenue opportunities through online viewing, neither the NFL or the cable company will risk cannibalizing their main source of income.
