I wouldn't be surprised if HBO is the first premium subscriber to break the cord and start offering online/streaming subscriptions.
I don't know why premium cable companies haven't done this yet. It is easy money for them.
I would gladly pay for HBO on a monthly basis, especially when shows like Game of Thrones are airing. But I don't want to purchase a 100$ cable package to get to that point.

If they did, they could not offer the same subscription rates because the cable providers subsidize some of the studio costs. HBO would either have to raise rates, or bank on getting a shite ton more subscribers. You also have to imagine that the cable companies would lobby the studios hard to give them the Netflix treatment. HBO would have to be ready for a fight.

I basically posted something similar to the last two posts in a thread about how Netflix knew House of Cards would succeed.
I would also gladly pay for a web streaming subscription to HBOGo. I cut cable a few months ago and don't plan on going back. I don't mind paying for programs I enjoy but I'm not willing to pay for a million other things I don't use. I'm more than happy to wait for something on Bluray or find an alternative means to watch it.
