Future of TV, cord cutting still jumbled

[Commentary] It’s clear that the oligarchy of cable and satellite companies controlling content delivery is crumbling, and the days of paying for hundreds of channels are coming to an end.

What’s unclear is whether cord cutters will save money by paying only for the channels they do watch. Will sports be available on demand, or will you have to subscribe to Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN and the NFL network so you can watch all the 49ers games? For that matter, providers could charge so much for each network that in the end, a tailored package of a dozen channels could cost as much as what you pay today for hundreds. Now there’s a happy thought.
