Comment on Ask HN: Examples where you make something people want, but are unable to profit?

Comments

Fully on demand cable television. So many people tell me "I'd love it if I could just pay per channel and forget about the other channels."

That got me thinking it may be something to exploit. Not so, with infrastructure costs swallowing up so much of the potential profits. People will just have to deal with all the channels they end up paying for. So, it's either the internet or bust if you don't want to play the cable game.
