the cable companies know they are fu***d because they are now trying doing two opposing things - offering incentives and simultaneously threatening content providers - to try to keep their content off of the internet. [url]http://www.bloomberg.com/video/incentives-to-thwart-web-tv-18e87PoHSHWDo75btXVI6w.html[/url] Meanwhile the coo of the same company tried to turn the focus to high speed data growth at the same conference the following day. A couple big companies will take the plunge at once - and then you'll see a mass exodus from the cable monopoly. Only losers on the content side are those producing bad content. consumers win big with this both in terms of better bang for our entertainment buck and maybe more so in the level of innovation in content provision this move will allow. Remember all the cable companies did was buy up little local monopolies that existed all over the country...all they are, are debt fueled consolidators of somebody else's hard work - they are basically just large private equity companies who used cheap debt to consolidate local natural monopoly businesses - the most basic kind of financial engineering. don't morn the demise of big cable's monopoly profits.
