I'm a bit late getting to this - its a holiday week! - but it's also worth noting that a healthy number of Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers were people who live in rural areas that have spotty broadcast TV/cable coverage and little or no highspeed broadband access. It's amazing to me that no one seems to have considered these people when the deal was being made.
