What Apple/Amazon/Google/Microsoft/Netflix needs?
Content.
If the content owners don't want to give the content to protect their "cable tv" business, make your own content.
It could be costly at first to produce your own contents, but in the long run, it would be worth it, especially if Apple/Amazon/Google/Microsoft/Netflix licenses each other contents.
Netflix is making several TV shows. HBO has been making its own tv shows for years.
If each companies make 10 TV shows a year and they all licenses these TV shows to each others, you have 50 TV shows a year. It costs about $1 mil to make 1 episode. This is nothing for the like of Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft. If Netflix can make several TV shows, so can the companies 100 times bigger.
