[QUOTE="jon, post: 884915, member: 15113"] One theory off the top of my head is the cable deal. It's well known that it hasn't gone the way ESPN and the others wanted, but it is safe to assume that when it started they tried to guard their market by getting the league to block everybody else as they looked forward to profit from their exclusive rights. Meanwhile, the words streaming and P2P entered the fans' vocabulary as monthly cable bills rose (thanks to regulations which stifled competition) and online services multiplied to fill obvious and growing market needs at prices well below cable and sunday ticket. Everybody was following a "get while the getting's good" strategy and failed to build a good quality, reasonably priced multi-media offering. [/QUOTE]
