The days of "channels" are numbered.. if you know what I mean.

The idea of having "channels" already sounds to me like something a wizzled old grave digger should be rambling about. And I'm so far behind all of the new tech, it's not even funny.

Cable companies have to maintain hard wire connections, satellite companies have to launch billion dollar satellites. I still think satellite providers spend less. You launch your sat, sell to millions and millions, blam. With cable you have to maintain a big network of cabling and fiber for every area.

Cable companies are greedy idiots who will not survive. I look for cable companies to be offering internet ONLY in the coming years (or to not exist).

They might hang on and do real well if they evolve properly and sell on demand content instead of trying to have "channels".
