As an example, Optimum charges $15 to upgrade to the Silver Package, which includes all the HBO, Showtime, and Starz networks. HBO Go and Showtime Anywhere, (does Starz have a version?) are of course included. So will HBO charge less than $15, still have people lose access to Showtime (which is finally starting to get some good programming as well) and will people choose that option over cord cutting? And the cable companies might reduce the price of HBO just to retain customers.
The only people it really targets are the younger online generation that doesn't need/want cable and are willing to pay for it instead of using their parent's HBOGo IDs or bootlegging it.
