YouTube takes on cable with new TV service
 
"YouTube has launched a $35-a-month TV subscription service that will rival US cable networks."

"The live TV service will carry more than 40 channels, including some of the country's biggest networks including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN."

It will soon be $100.

I get free tv for now. Just tune in OTA. Guess they will figure out a way to end that soon.

The only problem I see is that more cable providers will probably be incentivised to introduce more restrictive data caps to try to curtail competition, or a way to get the same amount of money that they would have been getting if said customer had bundled cable as well.

Like they do with data only. You betcha. Buy the bundle or suffer.
