| More and More Entertaining To watch TW executives try to maintain their companies relevancy.
The chapter has been written, it is only a matter of time, and to what extent that the cable industry is dramatically impacted by online video.
The internet has disrupted many business models.
Much like the airplane disrupted sea and train travel
Internet news has disrupted mainstream media
(cable) VOIP has disrupted the phone companies
Now it's TW and Cable's turn to get suffer serious setbacks due to a disruptive technology. They survived satellite - and they will survive internet video, but to think they can manage their earnings with this new strategy is actually rather amusing.
I'll always have some form of cable television. I have no desire to watch everything online, at least at this stage in online video. Who knows what it will be like in 10 years. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | I don't know about if they can survive internet video the way they are unless, internet video is most likely the future. They need to adapt. When there are STBs that have a built in wireless connection, and can be taken any where there is internet, vs cable which is more stationary IPTV may win out. |
