Just like with satellite radio, two services may not survive but a combined service could. There are still many parts of the United States where broadband is not an option and cable does not reach. For rural Americans, satellite TV is their best option. Yet that is slowly changing as new, far faster satellite Internet is in the works from Amazon and SpaceX, which could help millions of rural Americans join the streaming movement.

If I could get decent internet, I would drop DirecTV in a heartbeat. Actually, if it weren't for football, I would drop it anyway. Way too expensive for what you get.
