What's needed is for Apple and Google to kiss and make-up, then get an improved Apple TV device connected to Google's FTTH as the content provider/delivery mechanism.

Content creators will love it because they will get $0.25/episode from the consumer - instead of having to split the $1.50/month that the cableco pays for an entire channel with all the other content creators on that channel.
Apple will love it because they'll get their 30% cut on iTunes.
Google will love it because it weakens the cableco/telco's who complain that Google is getting a 'free ride on their tubes'.

Google's FTTH that will only be in one mid sized city?
That'll sure scare all the major players to death.
