Right now they are forced to carry competitive services without any upcharge, cannibalizing their own business.
That would be fine if you could guarantee that Comcast would only charge an extra $5 a month for me to stream any content from whatever content provider (excluding of course illegal bit torrent movie streaming but that’s another topic).
The problem is that I don’t see that happening. What will happen is ISP’s like Comcast will have a myriad of ever cost increasing tiers and packages resulting in the Ultra-Ulta-Mega-Super Premium package that will cost $500 a month if you really don’t want Comcast to limit what you can watch.

Of course that could occur.
Then another business steps in and drops it to $100.
There IS a market when there is money to be made.
