I would be a day 1 subscriber if it came to this area.  Quite honestly if it werent for live sports I wouldnt even have cable.

They have such an uphill battle here though.  For all those channels we have access to they are actually owned by a few.  I cant see them breaking away from their current model.

for instance... you wans ESPN?  well its 80% owned by Disney.  Which means you're forced to also have:

ABC Television Network (ABC Daytime, ABC Entertainment, and ABC News)
ABC Family
ABC Studios
A&E Television Networks (42.1%)
The Biography Channel (42.1%)
Disney ABC Domestic Television
Disney ABC International Television
Disney-ABC-ESPN Television
Disney Channel Worldwide (Disney XD, Playhouse Disney, Jetix, and ABC Kids)
History (formerly The History Channel) (42.1%)
History International (42.1%)
Hungama
Lifetime Entertainment Services (42.1%)
SOAPnet
Disney Junior (Flanders and the Netherlands)
ESPN, Inc. (80%)
ESPN (and ESPN.com and ESPN360.com)
ESPN2
ESPN Classic
ESPN Deportes
ESPNEWS
ESPNU
ESPN Enterprises
ESPN Interactive
ESPN International
ESPN Mobile Properties
ESPN on Demand
ESPN PPV
ESPN Regional Television

Its going to be brutal.
