Have we come full circle? Before streaming services, you paid for big cable bundles if you wanted all the shows. Now you will have to pay for several streaming services. You can cherry pick which ones you want, just like the old cable bundles. The only upside for me is that everything will be on demand, unlike the old days of cable.

Yes, I think we have come full circle.

The content is becoming more and more fragmented across an increasing number of services, so to obtain the content legally, you will have to pay a lot more than we are now.

Piracy will definitely increase again and I'll have no sympathy for these companies who will cry poor over the issue. If you want to silo your own content, then you're just thing to have to suck it up.

Wow, this article is horribly researched.

I think my favorite line is - "AT&T is best known as a cell phone company". lolno.

How is this guy involved in any sort of investment/research firm?
