The networks are likely to stick around for some time to come, especially since they offer amazing amounts of content that one might not know that they were missing, but the future is clearly a direct connection between studios and customers.

HBO (and potential paying customers) are at the mercy of the intermediaries, the service providers. As someone who has been contemplating ditching cable because I'm tired of being thrown in the middle of million dollar arguments (abc vs. cablevision, Fox vs. Time warner, etc...) HBO go would be the perfect solution for me. Ideally, I could ditch cable tv, keep my broadband, and subscribe directly for HBOGo access over broadband, (after all, arent we headed to that model of content delivery anyway)..however, since I'm a Time Warner customer, it is off limits for me. Sure it's coming, but it sounds like I will still have to be an HBO 'subscriber' via cable, as opposed to saying, I dont want it on my TV, i'd rather pay $10/month for HBO solely via broadband. I know we're in the early stages of all of this, but I just think these service providers have entirely too much control.
