Game Changer: Dish offers Streaming ESPN

Well it looks like the last reason to have cable (live sports) is about to fall by the wayside.
For $20 a month, Dish will offer ESPN, ESPN2, CNN, TNT, Food Network, HGTV and the Cartoon Network to consumers to stream on their laptops and mobile devices. It's a huge step in the cord-cutting movement, the ongoing migration away from cable contracts that require subscribers to pay for hundreds of channels they may never watch.
That really just leaves pay-per-view sports and local sports. I watch some BBC America, Comedy Central and FoxFX because they have Simpsons reruns but that is pretty much it. I am moving closer and closer to the cord cut myself.
