That is what would probably happen, or they might even just delete what you don't watch but charge you the same. However, this is what I have long hoped for, if it could be done economically; I only watch 5 channels and I pay for 200.
And while we're talking about pay TV, why do I pay $100 a month for cable and yet I STILL have to watch 20 minutes of commercials an hour?
Money.
The cable company gets paid to carry channels that they offload onto the customer. They have FCC requirements. They have money in their eyes.
The only change this will do is allow for all companies to not have the FCC backing any longer.
Talk about no more sesame street hahahahaha.
TV will be Youtube on steroids. If there is a broadcaster of a poll dancing club no stopping from you watching...
Commercials will be worth watching.
Cause you don't have a DVR?
