I have never subscribed to cable TV. TV programming quality sucked in the past. The rise of higher quality shows has coincided with easy availability online, illegal or legal.
Live sports were probably the best reason to keep a cable TV subscription over the past few years, but even that is being replaced by live streaming (see NCAA basketball tournament).
You'd be crazy to bet on anything less than a fully on-demand future. Always-on channels will just be a menu option in the monolithic on-demand service.
- sliverstorm 13y agoThat's probably obvious to just about everybody, but here's an important question: when does that fully on-demand future come? You'd be crazy to put your bets in on-demand if it's still 50 years out. That's where most of the disagreement stems from, and as a result that's the real opportunity for money to be made.
