Re: Content is King
@mpouraryan - the trend for cable operators is clearly a decline in video subscribers. Success, now, is to hold on to as many possible for as long as possible. What this data is saying is that cord-cutting is prevalent, but is not hitting cable operators that hard - so it's a slow, flat decline rather than a sharp drop off. But it's dropping off nonetheless - subscribers are definitely cutting the cord.

The question is what would they do especially as they have to deal, for instance, with the rise of the likes of PLUTO (That I use as I am right now listening to SkyNews being live streamed thru my Amazon FireTV)--I think I am not the exception--and the dilemma is profound--no doubt.

mpouraryan - The dilemma may not be as profound as you or I want it to be. The majority of cable providers also already provide internet. They are simply switching to a model where they charge for streaming services. If you won't pay to have cable and internet - you can pay through the nose to just have internet.
