[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1211501, member: 527609"] You don't have to worry about the value of an asset in 2030 if you're only buying it until 2023. The cable industry believes their subscriber losses are going to stay at just a trickle for several years yet, with increased fees making up for it. They're probably right. [URL="http://www.wsj.com/articles/cord-cutting-is-accelerating-1449745201?"]But the end is coming[/URL], and while the future is still uncertain and could look a number of different ways, it is virtually certain that it will not be a model in which old grannies pay $12 a month for niche sports programming they don't watch or even realize they're paying for. That is the part of the model that's dying, and the beneficiaries of that particular swindle are overwhelmingly sports entities whose cultural cache greatly outweigh their actual viewership. [/QUOTE]
