How would another company have the dough to pay for the rights for NFL, NBA, or MLB content and then make a profit with an a la carte service when competing against ESPN and their 100 million subscribers and billions of dollars in revenue under the current system?
How did Netflix almost single handedly put Blockbuster out of business?
How did Amazon single handedly make B&N and Books a Million an afterthought?
How did (insert any new thriving company) put (insert any competing out of business company) out of business?
I'm not saying anyone is gonna put ESPN out of business, but if they don't provide what the market wants, someone will and people will look elsewhere.
