Cable providers aren’t where the issues are coming from. It’s the cable channels that are dictating the terms of how channels are packaged for delivery to us.
And of course most folks with high speed internet are getting it from their cable companies. So in many ways the market won’t change that much even if it changes dramatically.
I think you are missing my point.
Cable compaines have three revenue streams: TV, phone, and internet. Two of those revenue streams are shrinking—TV and phone. Eventually (pretty quickly, imho) those will disappear, leaving companies like Comcast as pure internet providers (and much smaller compaines than they are today).
Satellite providers like Dish are up the creek.
