We all have our guesses.
What I think is overblown is that "traditional cable subscriptions are getting dropped in masses" Yes there are a lot of people dropping pay tv, yet there are also a lot of people signing up for pay tv. well over 80% of households have pay tv. Every year they lose thousands of customers and gain thousands of customers.

I think TV is definitely going to go through major changes however my logic from working in this industry is that most households will be paying more $ for TV in the future. How? Lets say your ideal scenario comes to fruition. You can a la carte channels and you pay less than $30/month ok that is wonderful---however how are you able to watch these channels? Answer: The Internet. Herein lies the next big step of this industry. If cable companies are losing pay tv subscribers and all of the sudden are having MASS increase in data usage as a result then that cable company will charge extra for data and if if internet equality doesn't take place they will also charge your streaming company $ for a fast lane. (like Comcast is doing to Netflix) So streaming prices will go up slightly as well as your data usage.

I could be wrong but I think there is way to much money to be made in this industry. It isn't about what makes sense for customers, it's about what makes the most money for the big players.
