I work for a major cable company and we are posting record profits. The thought about cable companies “Hemorraging”” customers is ridiculous. Cable companies money makers are data because it is nearly all profit after the cost of maintains the infrastructure. Cable companies are not losing data subscribers. The Other real money maker for some cable companies is now cellular, it is a cash cow.
Cable companies are happy to see video go because the cost of equipment and video rebroadcast agreements are astronomical for the cable company too.
