[QUOTE="illini92024, post: 1281160, member: 5578"] Google has been moving in this direction for some time now. I live in the Silicon Beach area of LA where Google is among many of the major players in video production. With the evolution of YouTube and Chromecast Google has gained popularity offering video content via the internet. This is leading to the downfall of cable providers due to the fact that they refuse to offer alacarte programming(who wants to have to purchase 500 mostly useless channels). With Google fiber coming to a city near you, I can definately see them moving towards a competitive TV programming provider. Now that Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime have opened the door we are seeing more providers such as ESPN, HBO and others in discussions about offering subscriptions via individual internet subscribers. Already you can purchase sports packages relatively cheap campared to cable on Sling TV, although I have never tried it yet. The future seems to be TV via internet with subscribers selection only the networks they want to watch. ESPN will not be left out of that pot full of cash nor FS1 or CBS sports, etc. It will be interesting to see how this all evolves. [/QUOTE]
