[QUOTE="Coloradojacket, post: 813221, member: 3070"] Think of a world where there is no ESPN, ABC, CBS. All TV is on demand. News is streaming. Shows are subscriber based. Now you are a Tech fan and you want to watch Tech and maybe the SEC and ACC games. You buy your season ticket but they come with a fee, reduced for you to have a Tech Subscription and maybe an ACC Subscription. If you live out of State and do not want to buy tickets you go on Ramblinwreck.com and sign up for your streaming service. If you want the SEC you go to UGA.com or maybe SEC.com to do the same. These become APPS like Netflix, Youtube etc. The SEC and the ACC cut out all the middle men and collect the revenue directly. You want to watch a bowl game, same model. My TV has no cable or satellite. It runs purely off a WIFI modem from ATT. I have a 500MGB down 50 MGB up capability that is provided by fiber. I guess the ISP would remain the middle man. We are just about there. I actually proposed something like this to Tech back in the 1997 time frame but for radio. I used to live in St. Pete from 1992-1994 and when not at the game could not get it on the radio/ TV was limited. I would have my grandmother put the phone up next to a radio speaker and listen to the game on the phone long distance. I worked for MCI at the time so my Ld was free.....and you doubt why I am the biggest Tech fan. [/QUOTE]
