In the last year or two, we've seen T-Mobile change the mobile industry pretty much on it's own by ending built-in subsidies in favor of lower monthly rates. Does anyone think that eventually all these various competitors (such as Sling, HBO Go Standalone,etc) will act in a similar manner, forcing "a la carte" cable just for cable companies to stay relevant? None of these cable-cutting options are a great fit for me, and I guess I feel that my situation is not that uncommon: I only watch maybe 5 or so "core" channels a lot, and then a couple more channels I watching only 1 show from. The way cable packages are done I need to go up to a mid-high tier just based on the channels I watch, even though there's not a good reason for that. The other problem I run into DVRing. I like cable because I tend to save a couple shows for a while, and don't like having to worry if they'll "disappear" next month or whatever. That one is probably an edge case, but it's the other reason I have a hard time with switching over to a streaming-only service.
