Thanks for the links... Did I miss it in reading through admittedly fairly quickly? There seemed to be an awful lot of ongoing satellite costs and overhead missing from those figures that don't apply to streaming. For instance, the assumption seemed to be that STB/dish installations are one time events with no allowances for the costs of ongoing field support and the associated administrative overhead that involves, including updates and churn costs. And those are costs that likely have a negative ROI unless you've seen numbers showing truck rolls are a profit center. I also didn't notice any ongoing costing included for sat subscriber VOD distribution that would have about the same per GB usage costs as other streaming.
And I have yet to see a good explanation of why a company like AT&T would encourage their sat and other TV subscribers to move to streaming if the per subscriber profit is less than sat or cable/fiber. We must be missing something in the calculations...
