If an exchange tries to squeeze it's participants they can just do a PNI or create their own. An exchange in it's simplest form is just a switch after all.
The exchanges would have favorable terms for rates on the intercontinental lines and such, no?
While I don't doubt Disney could get into the business (and may, they're ever-growing), I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense.
It may, but that's kind of what I was getting at RE: anticipation. I don't know the business well, and have never had Disney Money to play with!
They're the sole owners of their material, they could much more easily pass the costs along - perhaps arrange partnerships with local businesses, ala 'bundling'
I can't anticipate what shenanigans may follow - ie: stream this for free with your Mega Deluxe Cable plan
The internet exchanges will see the value proposition for Disney, everyone will get squeezed.
