They need to learn from Kodak. Once the public begins to transition en masse to another medium, it's very fast.
TV has a certain "lemming" following: people want particular content because other people want that content. When enough people expect the bulk of their content via Netflix (or wherever) the social pressure to stick to "cable" will evaporate.
Now if somebody could just replicate the "here we are now, entertain us" brain-dead delivery system that cable/OTA provides.

HBO already has a system in place (HBO Go), but it seems like they are waiting for a tipping point to divorce their internet content streaming from the requirement of having a cable subscription. Probably once they feel that pissing off the cable companies is worth the revenue they will gain.
