Ok. Let's put aside the content that Cloudflare will produce. They aren't a content company.
What they are showing is that cable is dying and using Cloudflare technology they can standup a global 24-hour TV station.
How many TV stations are there around the world? A lot and the future of TV is certainly digital. I don't care about the content but if they can pull this off then it's a showcase to every one of the tens of thousands of QVC, MTV, BBC, CSPAN, Discovery Channel, networks that they don't need the big cable players to broadcast anymore.

You can start your own satellite TV channel for about the price of a midsized car. IPTV is quite popular in non-Western countries and providers will basically distribute your channel for free.
What Cloudflare is trying to dop is stress test their video platform before they try and go hard to steal customers from Akamai, LimeLight, and Level3/CenturyLink.
