RE: Apple in talks to launch online TV service

It will be interesting to see how Apple pulls this off.

You obviously still need high-speed internet to get the streaming "skinny" bundles. Since cable companies like Comcast discount internet, phone, and TV in their bundles (Comcast triple-play), the question becomes how much are you actually saving by dropping some or all of your TV service from the cable company bundle while paying Apple for their "skinny" bundle. And does the cost of your internet go up because you're no longer bundling from the cable company?

Here's a thought. Use old school over the air TV antenna to get your local HDTV network channels and PBS. Then get a "skinny" bundle from Apple (or others). What consumers really want is true ala carte pick and choose TV channels rather than paying for a "bundle".
