| clueless in woodbury... with internet subscribers gorged on first run & pre-released pirated movies, content providers will have a harder time selling content at any price. btw, the internet killed the Brick and Mortar audio cd sales (Tower Records), and until recently, not movie sales because the bandwidth & ease just hasn't gotten good enough for video.. but it's coming. the days of passively watching tv channels is coming to an end.. on-demand content will play a greater role in consumer's lives and to that end, watch cable tv subscriptions dwindle as much as POTS subscriptions are going the way of the dinosaur. cable-tv is not a good quality service as it used to be with the flood of infomercials, advertisements, product placements, and DIRT CHEAP junk programming (you know which shows I'm talking about without pointing fingers), it's time to put TV on OUR terms, price & schedule and filter out the junk.. that all can be done with the internet and cutting out the middleman. |
