What you may find is that a provider put it in some type of Tier or Package that you may not have, and thus have to upgrade. For example, Cox is placing it in it's Digital Essential Tier, which is what everybody has to have if they HD service, and probably 95% of all their customers do. Comcast or Verizon might do something similar, or they may stick it in a "Sports Tier" you have to pay an extra $12/month for

ESPN will not allow them to stick it on a sports tier. You will not see that with any of the agreements they reach with carriers. They want it included in whatever packages include the rest of the ESPN channels.
