Could be a good start. I don't see a Sony specific subscription service ever rivaling Netflix or Hulu, and even Netflix is now having a terrible time signing cable content and might eventually become attached to a cable package themselves.

No, I think you have it backwards. Sony could destroy netfix and hulu.

Yes, a Sony oriented service with a bare bones lineup so far is going to take down Netflix or Hulu. That's preacious. It would be like someone saying MS will destroy Comcast with the Xbox One.

As soon as any of these services start making any sort of impact to broadcast companies they will just up the licensing fees like they are doing with Netflix.

I think you need to consider sonys position as a media company. And how they can use that to their advantage over the others.
