the reason for this exclusivity mess is that the streaming sites are owned by the content providers

you saw the same thing happen back when the movie studios (directly) owned the theaters

I get something like $65 discount on Internet connectivity due to "triple play", if I turn off TV and phone I end up paying the same amount for the same speed. Optimum/Cablevision have a "cord cutters" package that is just another first 2-year gimmick package and aside of now charging for modem rental the pricing structure is more than double the price of Internet under "triple play".

Dish has stepped up to the plate to fix the US's hosed up anti-loyality pricing scheme with the monthly charge including taxes and being fixed, however they're only targeting DirectTV in their advertising and should also hit out at the cable companies. Shame they only do TV :(

yeah i think right now (i've had internet for a year so they bumped up the price) it'd be about the same or maybe $5/mo more to just get all the triple play stuff
