Thank you for calling Comcast. Your wait time is… Irrelevant
The problem cable TV faces is not Dish or Direct TV, it is the internet. At the moment, as Julianna Forlano explains, cable has us by the short and curlies.
Our problem is that replacing cable TV with the internet is not yet viable for the vast majority of us. Though Netflix and a few others on Smart TVs and third party boxes help, but browser connection to the web on our TV is still a horrible mess and input is a pain unless one hooks up a PC directly to the TV. So we are still in the GEEKS ONLY STAGE of making that call to turn off our cable. And then where’s your broadband going to come from? Short and curlies again. And recently so many phone lines.
Comcast sees it coming of course, but until browsers on your TV actually work as well as they do on your computer, and voice commands become viable, they own us. In the meantime they know their best bet is to beat back Net Neutrality (a Republican endeavor) and buy more content providers like VERIZON so they can control what you can and cannot get on the Internet.
