Comment on The FCC could soon give more power to cable companiesparent

Comments

Because there are still sales organizations within these companies whose bonuses are based on driving video revenue. It takes a while for a large company to unroll those organizations/incentives/etc. As it is, the primary customers of their video products are older adults.

But long-term, video is a non-issue. If prices don't come down, the cable providers will move to a la carte. There's just too much content available online via YouTube, Netflix, etc. It will still be a product, but it will be IP-only, cheaper, and offer more granular video packages.
