Yes. Because throwing advertisements on something always results in a Google level of profit.

Edit: Also the cable companies only own a small number of the channels they broadcast therefore the ad revenue from those may be zero.

Then perhaps its time to disrupt the cable market...exactly like we've been seeing over the past 24 months.

I felt this way the second I saw XBox Live. Imagine how much more content you would be willing to consume from there if everything wasn't a la carte. You have a captive audience where you can charge advertisers a premium for getting in front of those eyes.

Instead the customers are asked to pay a monthly fee just to access online content and you either pay per download or for a secondary service.
