1.) Rural America isn't the reason why they have the Sunday Ticket. Those people are a captured audience. They have Sunday Ticket for the burbs and cities where people have choices and Sunday Ticket will make them more attractive than cable. And with the new infrastructure bill, much of rural America will get broadband internet which would make DirecTV obsolete.
2.) DirecTV absolutely has the streaming rights. And do actually offer the streaming service to people who live at addresses (mostly apartment buildings) where they cannot install a dish to get the satellite service.
3.) DirecTV's Sunday Ticket rights are up after this season and the NFL wants sell the streaming rights to a major provider not DirecTV. DirecTV intends to renew the rights to the broadcast version of Sunday Ticket.
4.) The NFL has already said they are interested in making the service as you say where you can pay to follow only one team the entire year. That is what the NBA and MLB do with their streaming services and they find it generates more revenue for the service. So it will happen.

1.) Infrastructure won't bring broadband to remote areas within five years if ever....and DTV is most likely to buy Dish
2.) ST streaming is only made available on a separate app and for people who cannot get a dish mounted physically. Select markets allow the app now, but otherwise you can't get ST on "DTV Streaming" nor "Att TV" or whatever it is called.
3.) DTV still has the rights thru the 2022 season.
4.) I have absolutely no faith in the NFL making ANY kind of bundle that is cheap....and don't care. For me its about ditching the physical dish.
