This is a really important issue from all sides- technological, business, ethical, and more. We think newspapers are dying, but I'd have to say Cable is even worse off. There's something substantial about having printed paper that you can hold at least. It's just making the economics work. With cable, there's absolutely no reason to have it with the internet. It's purely double dipping. I will tell you this. Comcast and all the others are scared shitless of one thing- hooking your computer up to your tv and canceling your cable subscription. Right now at least they have the value proposition of you being able to easily watch their cable on that new HDTV you bought. Once the 50 inch HDTV screen is as open as the internet/computing itself (im not talking about silly set top boxes btw), they're utterly fucked. Content providers don't need them and their revenue decreases substantially with people just canceling cable. ps- if this type of vision/stuff interests you on a personal/professional/hobbyist level please please please email me: j@jasonlbaptiste.com. I'd love to shoot the shit, im very passionate about this topic.
