Well not really...Cable just does the last mile. But yea the broadband pipe is going to continue. However Cable will lose a great deal revenue with the cutting of the cord. This is really what they are trying to delay by allowing for smaller channel packages.
For cable providers, the big money is ion the triple play. The Cable portion and the voice portion are both under legitimate attack.
I disagree. Phone costs next to nothing for cable providers. It's all built in to the broadband service. The vast majority of the cable bill goes to content provider fees. That's why the cable bill is always going up but broadband and phone service have stayed the same for years. If cable can basically get double the amount of money per subscriber for broadband...say $80 a month, they wouldn't need the revenue from phone and cable.
