The truth is that the current TV system is a great deal for everyone.

Cable TV is socialism that works; subscribers pay equally for everything, and watch only what they want, to the benefit of everyone. Any “grand vision” Apple, or any other tech company, has for television is likely to sustain the current model, not disrupt it directly.

Hard to believe, but the logic and math seem to make sense.
