The content companies trying to create their own streaming services are going to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes time to launch and try to get people to pay yet another monthly fee. Licensing content to Netflix is a sure thing. Money in the bank. Drawing in new subscribers to a fledgling service is not. I've heard that people are already getting "streaming fatigue" regarding the monthly fees they pay to streaming services, so adding more to the mix isn't going to help. Companies will have to have a lot of content not available elsewhere to get potential customers to pony up even more money. For example, as much as I'd like to see the new version of The Twilight Zone available on CBS All Access, there's no way I'm paying another $6 to $10 + tax per month for it. I love four shows only available on Showtime, but this year I'm waiting until all four have aired their current seasons before I subscribe again, then I'll do so for only the two months it will take me to watch them before I cancel again.
