You make it sound like Cable/Sat. will have a price freeze and streaming will surpass.
The problem with people coming back is this, Cable/Sat had as a high, 100 million subs/Households, of that, 40 million have left, out of that 40 million, 10 million went to OTT services-YTTV, Hulu Live, Sling, et, so now we have 70 million that subscribe to Live TV.
That means 30 million have left and are not coming back to any live TV.
Also this, our population grows on average over 1.5 million a year, been that way for over 30 years, yet live TV is still declining, that means they have no interest in it ( and I can attest to this since my kids are 32 and 27 and they do not have any Live TV subscription, just the Netflix types).
Which finally means, as the older customers die off, paid Live TV has no one to replace them, as those numbers increase for those leaving, the faster services become unprofitable.
You do not know what you are talking about, TPG’s plan was always to be out within 3 years, that came out in all the financial news stories when the deal was done with AT&T.
That is why they started the merger talks with Dish back in January, those talks went no where by the way and TPG really wants to make money on their investment, but there is no one that has a interest in DirecTV except maybe Dish, but they are not bitting.
