(5,427 posts)service through ROKU, AppleTV etc. Hasn't happened yet. AppleTV does provide BloombergTV live from what I understand, but I think consumers are getting tired of the expensive fees, and with Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, AERO, and other services, they may have to change their ways.
Similar to AT&T and Verizon. They have held essentially a monopoly, but now Companies like T-Mobile and others are starting to actually challenge them on price. Still too expensive, but I think people will get tired of getting ripped off which will force things to eventually change.
One of the few things I agreed with mccain about is his endeavor to allow people to have an option of ala carte service. Most people watch at most 10 channels, instead of anywhere from 150 to 500 channels of garbage, and they love to advertise they have so many channels, but fail to say a lot of those channels are either infomercial channels, or church channels
