I’m not suggesting cable companies ditch the MVPD component of their models … just merely illustrating — with the help of a credible analyst — the point that the “competition” happens to be driving a burgeoning revenue stream.

While it was initially built for cable subscription, it will one day be overtaken by high speed and telephone subscription. Taking advantage of the pipeline, cable companies must invest in other businesses that can take advantage of these connections between home and plant. And adding value by supporting home connections with WIFI mobile hotspots will only increase its demand.

As cable subscription costs continue to rise, consumers will seek ways to lower their bills. It may be smaller packages of services; it may become a la carte. As programming license fees continue to rise, the old cable model is breaking apart. Subscribers will continue to flee the cable model as costs continue to rise. The future is the broadband pipe. http://goo.gl/fb/1ELgk

The MVPD component of cable service anchors their control of geographic areas under FCC regs. Without TV/Video services cable co’s are just another ISP. They have to stay in the TV game to maintain exclusivity in geographic markets. Also, giving-up TV invites competition into their territory. No cable CEO is going to be dumb enough to ratchet down control of established territory and invite competition. Talk about inviting scrutiny by investors, sheesh!

Right now I pay almost nothing for the pipe that delivers my tv. With broadband I pay for both the pipe and the content. Why are cable co.s so small-minded about this idea?
