I don't know why premium cable companies haven't done this yet. It is easy money for them.
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.

This doesn't seem accurate to me, but I know absolutely nothing about how cable television operates. It seems that the only funding cable companies would give HBO is in the form of subscriber fees. I could be very wrong, however.
I would think a rate of 10-15$ a month would provide them with pretty good revenue. But I'm not businessman.
