Suzan there are plenty of Countries than they are not using cable connection for the transmission of TV signal. Maybe the cable tv is dying but the free TV and in digital wireless version is here and will stay. Furthermore, I want to say don't condemn TV because has bad quality. The people were served what wanted to "eat."
I got rid of the TV a very long time ago and I am convinced it has been one of the best things I have ever done. Most of the people I know have done the same. Sooner or later cable companies are going to die.
Anything that gives consumers more choice gets a thumbs-up from me. Cable has become a racket where new charges pop up on a regular basis and providers keeps changing the rules.
Sounds great, and I'd love to do it. But in my area, the cable and broadband internet are provided by the same supplier, so all they have to do is restructure their fee schedule.
Michelle, We ditched cable about four years ago but for a bunch of reasons. First, we were feeling like they just wanted to squeeze and squeeze. The channels were separated into basic and premium first and then some of the basic channels were added to the premium plan. Second, the cable company came up with another class of super premium channels that cost 20 to 30 dollars per month. Who could afford that and still enjoy it. Lastly, there were alternatives emerging. So, we ditched cable but we didn't eventually replace them. We just stayed with video.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
