From the network's perspective there's also ad dollars to consider. Netflix and HBO are subscriber based revenue generators. They can do whatever they want, knowing that subscribers can watch whenever they have time. Networks don't have the same luxury, even as DVR service and ondemand is becoming more common place. I think that's why you're seeing networks like CBS offering a standalone streaming service.
The ultimate game changer will be getting rid of local blackouts on streaming sports like MLB.tv.
