Where Will the Cable TV Industry Will Be in the Future?

By William Baretta


If someone tries to say what the industry cable television will look like in 10 to 20 years, at most only make a guess. The fact of the matter is that even the highly paid executives running these companies know what will happen.

One thing is certain though, are the professionals who make decisions for cable TV providers are concerned about the impact the Internet will have on their income once your speed is much greater. It's a bit ironic too, since the internet is one of their main sources of income as well.

When cable TV companies, which started in the business and invest in their cables and other infrastructure, the Internet had not even been invented yet. At that time, thought that his only source of income would be selling cable TV subscriptions.

Now these same companies make a lot of money providing Internet access, which could one day put his side the cable television business, the business altogether. What these companies are so concerned, is that more people than ever spend time on the Internet and not in front of their televisions.

They also believe that this pattern is not going to ever go back to where it was previously, but only increase substantially once the internet improves its speed considerably. Only just a few years ago sites like YouTube were created, which allowed people to post videos they generated themselves online. These types of websites are extremely popular now, and are regularly visited by millions of people each and every day.

Now there are also all kinds of websites where you can watch movies or television on them. Fortunately for the cable TV providers, the speed of the present day internet does not permit the end user to have the same experience as they would watching a television show that is delivered over a cable connected to their house. However, someday in the future that will happen, and when it does, who knows how many subscribers will turn off their cable TV.

The Internet is changing the world, and someday soon, it could certainly change the way you carry all your home entertainment. The cable TV providers are well aware of this, and I wish there was something I could do to stop the evolution.
