Re: This is what's wrong with America.

The CATV companies do NOT innovate. They generally utilize technology that others develop.
That's correct, they do not innovate.
They simply pay the bills of the people who do innovate by buying the innovated product.

It's not cost effective for the CableCos to operate their own R&D departments, but if there were no product development, they would have to. The output would be klunky and the consumer would pay for failure and success alike. So the independent guys are good to have around.

Synopsis: There would be reduced innovation without independent developers.
There would be no innovation with the CableCos.
