OTT services have to actually compete with each other. YouTubeTV, Hulu Live, Sling, whoever else comes along have to fight for subscribers nationwide. When the price goes up I can cancel and hop to someone else with a couple of clicks, or just resub during fall/winter and not pay anything during the summer.I give it 5 years and streaming services will be approaching current satellite prices, with worse performance.
Cable providers carve out their own territory and agree to stay out of each other's way. Dish just lost it's main competition. This decision by AT&T will make traditional and satellite customer's lives worse.
