I think the cable companies think that they will lose business, just as railroads thought that the Westinghouse brakes would be too expensive for trains. And like the railroads found that safe brakes brought in business, they will actually find that they make more money when they have individual channels.
Actually I'm waiting for the time when we can order our programming by the program instead of by the channel. That's when it gets decent.
