We basically have channel unbundling now though don’t we? Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Disney+, HBOMax, etc. It works for the most part. And it’s cheaper than what Comcast charges for cable.

I wonder how much of that is currently being heavily subsidized, and prices will rise. One significant difference is access to old content -- we might just not need anywhere near as much new content, which will makes things cheaper in the future.

It probably is cheaper if you ditch live TV (like I did)--or can get it over the air. If you add a $60-ish live TV subscription, without sport adders, it isn't especially.
