When hot dogs at sports stadiums cost $10 a pop, why do you think 1080p streams would be cheap?

It is dependent on supply/demand and business model. You could have asked the same thing when Google/Yahoo as a search engine came into play "why do you think the knowledge of millions would be widely available and relatively cheap/"free"?

The stadium has a monopoly on hot dogs and event streaming, so they can gouge you til their heart's content.
