But the technological advances in Internet television come at a time when customer grumbling over escalating cable prices has grown to a roar and a younger generation of viewers more comfortable with computers than TVs is starting to set up its own households. The new alignment of attitudes is already taking a toll.You hear that COMCAST? Lower your rates or you will lose even more people including me!

Creative destruction, and less central control. What’s not to like?
My teens consider network TV like great-grandpa’s old Victrola.
A screen=internet to them.

The big problem is that only a few ways to get internet so I am stuck with Comcast at least for that.

99% of TV content is pure crap, and no channel is family friendly these days either

When the day comes that I can get my favorite channels through the internet or airwaves or however, I dump the cable company. They have enjoyed a government-assisted monopoly for years, and I will gloat when they go out of business.
To: GeronL
Find a channel that shows classic films, commercial free.

I could see a day where NBC goes the way of Time Magazine. Sold for a dollar.

I do watch a lot of subtitled Korean shows online, I find them better (broadcast TV in Korea has stricter content standards, so they actually have to have a story- imagine that) than anything on American TV.

I don’t get how this will ever be bad for cable companies. If they don’t sell enough cable tv subscriptions they’ll simply raise the cost of internet...it still has to come through their cable. Same with FIOS or other technologies. Or am I missing something?
To: I want the USA back
Both COMCAST and Satellite TV have good deals at first but then after about 6 months they jack their prices way up. Anything that gives folks an option to get cheap TV is a plus and maybe COMCAST will be forced to lower their prices.

I want it to be bad for TV production companies too. All they do is make crap these days.

So when you dropped your cable, how did you connect to the Internet?

How about only paying for the shows you want? If a conservative outfit started producing a sitcom, a cop show and a science fiction show, how many conservatives would subscribe to watch online?
