I'm thinking that speed would be the most important thing. Simultaneous or very near simultaneous subtitled streams with the TV release in Japan. That is the only way to make fansubbing obsolete.
Monetizing this (cross promotion of DVDs? web advertising? pay subscriptions? merchandising?) is the hard part. Also convincing the Japanese of such a paradigm shift.
Whether or not you'll see a whole new scene of pirated subtitled streams going up on bit torrent is still a possibility of course.
