We're one step closer to some media titan offering one streaming service with ALL the channels, thereby reinventing... cable.


They've already done that. Hulu offers all the channels you'd get with cable, minus the local access channels. And they are charging the same if not more than cox.

The main difference is lack of FCC regulation, which carries a metric frickton of fees along with it.

This is why all the cable carries aren't seeking to get out from under those fees. (After all, they're not just collecting them and passing them straight through from consumer to FCC - there's a markup on them). They're actively lobbying Congress to get the streaming companies ADDED as cable entities so they have to add the fees to their rates.
