Cuts and Mergers at Streaming Companies

and what will fill what commercial establishment need?
some areas don't have the bandwidth to push 10-15 HD feeds at the same time and if 4-5 bars on the same cable node need to do that?

will commercial establishment really want to deal with 2-5 different box types? over 2-5 differnt accounts? with 2-5 different UI just to get all of the sports they get now?

What choice will they have, sooner or later they will have to pony up and upgrade their broadband.

DirecTV will not just stay in business just because Commercial Establishments need them to, not how business works.

There are no more new Satellites being planned, so even if they can stay profitable, there is still a time limit, based on when the satellites run out of fuel or fail.

AT&T has already announced they plan on putting their 70% share of DirecTV this summer 2024, who knows who would want a company that has lost about 14 Million subscribers in 7 years and still losing at a pace of 2 Million subs a year.

5g would work best but it's really not what it is supposed to be yet...you could turn it on when you needed it and then shut it down..you would only pay for it when you used it

5G would never work for a Sports Bar, you need a lot of bandwidth, stable to handle a bunch of TVs and people on the wifi.

And who has a 5G service that is pay as you use it.

Each device would have its own 5g connection...would be fine

You said pay as you used it, who offers such a service.

nobody is going to sign up for 20 5G accounts. Even with a multi-device discount it is MUCH easier to stick with traditional consumption until that which time streaming multi-plexers become a thing, then they can switch to fiber and stream

and some are in areas that don't have access to good broadband other then 5g and with some streaming channels due to the inability to furnish an IP Address location.

You do get an real IPv4 with some of the 5g systems.

also they may have caps / slow down points.

You don't...it would be enterprise business account...similar to shared cellphone family account but for a business..a cable internet connection for business is extremely expensive compared to a residential internet connection..because it's a business there are all kind of copyrite fees and such. Eventually someone will find a way to sell sunday ticket bundled with a 5g connection for businesses

Any Telcom for businesses..

enterprise business

I think most bars / restaurants are to small for enterprise and the way that most restaurants are setup they are franchised with there own billing.

and right now they have to deal with all kinds of local cable / broadband systems and if you have good cable / fiber then why pay more for slower / capped / higher cost. 5G or sat?

An HDMI splitter would cut down on the number of signals needed as long as the individual TV's want the same program. I've seen 1 in 4 out splitters, but I don't know what the quality is. I use a 1 in 2 out splitter with excellent picture quality to a mixed size pair of TV's.

It's just an idea..maybe Google and Verizon could bundle such a service once 5g is actually deployed the way its supposed to be...it would really simplify things for businesses and make the service to a much wider business market...satellite is by far the best but alas the NFL didn't want to go that way

I believe 5G mm wave could service several independent TVs, if properly implemented and $upported.
