You aren't going to stream anything without internet access. You will probably continue to see an evolution in the services provided by cable companies. I suspect more choices instead of packages of 250 channels. Cable companies provide the infrastructure as well as programming services. I cut the cord about 7 years ago but I am totally dependent on a "cable" company for internet access so I can stream programming from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.

Very nicely put.
