Cable companies have been sitting back on their big fat assets for way too long now and have recently been awakened to the fact that the new kids on the block are chomping at their heels and other exposed parts. Companies like Apple and even upstart Sling are giving subscribers a viable alternative to established cable companies and their static ‘take it or leave it’ tier programming.
For decades, they have enjoyed near monopolies and been able to rely on simple demographics to grow their businesses. As long as their customers kept having children, their bottom line was bound to increase.
