This is like cable with extra steps ;) I think we are already seeing some packaged stream services and we will probably see more. It’s a lot of overhead to maintain a separate service to do the exact same thing (with only a different library and branding). I think the NHL uses the streaming backend developed by MLB Advanced Media (they adapted it in 2015, not sure if still the case). https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/a-closer-look-at-nhls-pa...

Na, not like cable. It’s all on demand so you can watch what you want when you want. You don’t pay a cent for stuff you don’t watch.

You can pay by minute, or episode, or season or whatever.

Like Netflix but with the catalog of every streaming service in existence, better per-use pricing, no ads.
