Netflix Hasn’t Won the Great Digital TV War Yet: We Have (derekflanzraich.com)

The thing that all these people who are bullish on streaming content replacing TV never discuss is sports. It the main reason I haven't ditched a cable subscription. Plus I don't like the idea of 5 different content providers replacing the 1 I have now, where's the convenience in that?


Agreed on both points, really. Sports is basically the major reason why most people I know still have interest in cable. But sports leagues are getting smart about it-- and it's pretty surprising how much can be found on ESPN360 & through (still expensive) individual league subscriptions.

More subscriptions isn't necessarily more convenient but, with the right management/organization tools, could theoretically be more practical (and cheaper)...
