You make a good point about the interconnectivity of the news/film industries to broadcasting, but we've reached a point where people are going to need to let go and embrace what's next. The fear is that of uncertainty and the behavior of consumers but in all actuality, people love television and they'll still pay to watch it. If they have to lower costs, so be it. The upside? You'll probably reach and RETAIN more customers because of the lower costs.
- iamdave 15y agowe've reached a point where people are going to need to let go and embrace what's next I agree. But what we'll see if it happens, in my opinion will be an amalgamation of the following when it comes to cable provider VOD ala Netflix: * Poor/spotty service (I mean look at the VOD that's currently sent through your cable box..) * It will come as a premium add on that requires you to have home cable service * It is not going to be a cheap service for the consumer, but it will probably be a cheap expense for the provider (see: SMS) * Your movie options will be greatly limited in favor of using your cable box We'll see. These companies need to get with the picture, although that picture is probably going to cost extra just to sell you the frame and nail to hang it with.
