The consumers have been begging for unbundling of content and transport. This does not imply fragmentation of either. That's a content provider straw man. It is only reasonable to assume that all content providers will see the benefit in mutual agreements for content exchange with all other content providers. Just like it's reasonable to assume your ISP will let you access services hosted by some other ISP.
Of course, if ISPs wanted to make money then they would have tried to monopolize the market by fragmentation. Not..
Agreed. It's either naive or presumptuous of any VoD provider to think that they can each have 100% of the market. More so, that sharing the market through fragmentation is a viable way to guarantee their going concern over the long term. Mark.
