Some here are really going to hate this comment, but the 'historical' intermediary distributors add zero value given current technologies, are an obstacle to true market effects and simply anachronistic and monopolistic.  Investing any thought in them is like investing thought in the Tower Records retail chain circa 1999.  You might not know when it is going to die, but it sure as shite isn't looking good.

Long before you go through Millhouse's exercise in the wisdom of bundling - the simple question is why in the world would a content creator need one or more content distributor(s)/intermediary(ies) in 2014?  It will take some time to die, and some new aggregators will arise - but they will look more like Netflix and Amazon prime - and they will offer bundles of course.  Ones that make economic sense.

And yes - this means our 'take' from the ACC Network will be subject to real market forces, and therefore be less than that of the SEC and B1G.  Ain't that 'murica?
Ain't that how it should work?
