    Or maybe it just lowers the barrier to entry of the market.
    Right now the money makers are distributors. And you get the to choose your stuff stuff mostly from distributors (you buy channel packages).
    With this kind of deal, other content providers who have no deals with big distributors could enter the game, and the competition could be over content, and maybe price, and not over distribution channels. It could be a nice thing for the guy who actually buys the stuff.
