I can understand why the Pac-12 doesn't want to allow online access for people who choose not to subscribe to the TV package that includes the Pac-12 Network: that would cut into demand, and make the channel less attractive to cable companies.  But I don't understand why they're not selling online access in areas where the channel is literally not available on cable or dish (such as the DC area, where I live).
