What's Being Learned From Cable. "What has become increasingly obvious, though, is for all the knocks on cable, starting with the fact consumers paid for lots of channels they never watched, its one-stop-shopping approach eliminated some of the challenges springing up now. That old system worked because the “bundle” actually created a mechanism to financially support a vast number of choices serving various tastes. Simply put, paying for ESPN if you don’t like sports, or CNN and MSNBC if you don’t watch news, might have been irritating, but those millions of cable subscriptions spread out the revenue in a way that made dozens and dozens of channels available and affordable. The dream of a more a la carte system, where you pay for what you watch, has turned out to elusive, primarily because there’s no way - at least yet - to adopt that where the cost doesn’t become onerous, and maybe even prohibitive, for many consumers."

"For streaming to work, it’s going to have to look a lot like cable bundles. That’s the great irony. Companies had it pretty darn good with cable, so it’s going to be hard to get back to those economics again." From: Streaming Seeks a Path to Profitability Yale Insights
