Here's a post I made months ago on the LHN's business model:



Very interesting take on the possible shift in media consumption. I'm not 100% on board with the thought that cable will go to a full "a la carte" system, but major changes will certainly take place.

The guy who makes the best hot dogs only has so much leverage over Wal Mart for so long; Wal Mart will eventually find a supplier as good and cheaper. Cable operators are the "Wal Marts" of modern media distribution to consumers!

they certainly aren't going to go willingly.

i imagine they will fight the disruptive technologies just like the music and movie industries fought digital delivery.

but they will eventually lose. maybe my 5 to 10 year estimate is too optimistic, but I don't think so. cable is losing subscribers left and right. they will have to do something, and soon.
