The writing has been on the wall for the last decade. Just a matter of where the tide mark would be.
As a kid, I longed for my own phone line for internet access and analogue cable TV in my bedroom.
Through the years, switched to broadband, got rid of the telephone line, got rid of the TV... now just need broadband.
Linear scheduled TV is as dead as the dinosaurs and only really relevant for those who are stuck in their ways, not to be disrespectful to anybody but that is the truth but even the older generation with apps built into their TV's are able to use iPlayer.
Remember when VOD was the jewel in the Cable crown? I wonder how much that cost them, in the grand scheme of things, it was merely a stepping stone.
How long before the cable TV model is obsolete and the cable STB is literally a posh Roku box if it is not nearly one already.
