I think there's going to be huge fights between these networks and the satellite TV companies when the networks want to be paid the same way at 16 teams that they were paid at 12. Some of the comments in those articles hit upon the point I've been trying to make. The carriage fee system starts to make a lot less sense for DirecTV and Dish if you try to manipulate by it just spreading yourselves too thin across the country.
