Correction, people on previous pages are saying a la cart for the ESPN network would cost $80-100. My reply does not change...it is ludicrous to believe that consumers would pay that. In an a la cart scenario, ESPN network would need to be $10 just like someone who buys HBO today.
Correct. The posters are making nice arguments using actual numbers, but as you said they are ignoring the demand factor. If ESPN charged $100/mo they wouldn't get any subscribers, I don't care how much you like sports. They would be forced to lower price due to demand.
Sure it would prob hurt ESPN's bottom line in the short term, but as all companies are forced to do in an ever changing society, they would have to adapt and find alternative avenues of revenue.
The consumer wins in the end with a free market.
