It will be this way until one of the networks is willing to pony up more money than direct TV to pay the NFL for the rights to broadcast those games. I can't really see any other players in the sunday ticket programing other than perhaps Dish network but until their subscribers list grows substantially its going to be a direct Tv only option.

I would think big cable companies like Comcast would want a piece of it. If I can't see enough Miami games here in Georgia this season I might make the switch for next season. I love on demand and everything but I get sick of the local networks deciding what games I'm gonna watch.

I would believe that cable companies like comcast, brighthouse etc. would have to pool their money together. In order to compete with a national carrier like directv.

I don't think so.

I think in three years you are going to see the NFL Network (notice not "channel") take over the broadcasting.

Well that may be so but this question was about the NFL sunday Ticket not the NFL network or channel. The rights to broadcast all those games will go to the highest bidder. Money talks and shi&t walks as they say and The NFL is all about the money. Right now I don't see any other players other than direct TV. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for one of the bigger cable companies to outbid Direct Tv because they just don't have the market share that Direct Tv does. Direct Tv has used the sunday ticket and the NFL network to bolster its subscribtion base (i.e. another reason to switch over to the dish) and those bigger cable companies are getting smaller every year. I also don't recall hearing anyone i know say they were going to switch from Satt tv back to cable. Its all going the other way.
