     @tantramar Concur. But Amazon is flailing a bit at the moment and I don’t see that changing. The push into sports and other live events by all of them will continue to roil the streaming waters. It’s all too messy to figure out where it’s heading.

     @WarnerCrocker Amazon and Apple — who rely on other business units — may have the only pockets deep enough to outlast Netflix and/or DisneyHuMax+.

     @WarnerCrocker It is. And live events like sports are cable’s last real bastion. If you like this topic, I heartily recommend the excellent Downstram podcast with @jsnell and Julia Alexander. https://www.relay.fm/downstream

     @cgrymala I imagine come later this fall it will all get sorted into a sordid mess that no one can figure out.

     @WarnerCrocker I get Max as part of my mobile phone plan, but pay for the whole Disney bundle (I know other mobile companies have deals on those services), so it will be interesting to see how that all works out.
