That's a double edged sword. On one hand less competition may mean each company that's left will get a bigger share of the pie, but there will be secondary effects that might not be so good.

With fewer paysites, there'll be fewer content producers meaning higher prices and less choice.

With fewer paysites, there'll be fewer billing companies. Meaning you won't be able to spread your eggs around to as many baskets.

With fewer paysites, there'll be fewer hosting companies. Bandwidth may get cheaper but service will get worse as companies cut costs to compete for the few paysites left.

With fewer paysites, there'll be fewer freesites. The less money flowing out of paysites to affiliates means many small timers will close up shop. Surfers will spend more time on search engines or established tgp's making it more expensive to advertise to them.

Do you really want an industry with less choice?
