If you are comparing these *new* $50 slimmed down MVPD options, against HBO
direct, viewed at home on your wired broadband, the cost is essentially the
same. If you're a college student, say, with "free" broadband in the dorms,
then you come out ahead with this HBO direct. So this HBO direct gives you more
options.

And that was the only way to get HBO, until last year. See the article I posted
yesterday. No matter how you slice it, Craig, no way can you pretend nothing
has changed.
