They will be relegated to selling nothing but bandwidth. Internet
distribution of content is only going to get bigger and the cable
companies are already under attack by internet content providers. When
the producers figure out they make more money by marketing their
content directly to the subscriber and avoiding the cable company
middle man that empire will go the way of the video rental club.



LOL... Not in the US, and not unless Congress acts to restore
net neutrality... Your ISP could make you pay extra to have
good speed on your connection to web based businesses like
Netflix and other media content carriers that have no networks
of their own and use the systems of other businesses without
any sort of financial consideration to the companies that
maintain the infrastructure...

You should see some changes coming soon unless Congress
acts, your ISP could be deciding what you can access over
the internet, not you...
