Cable Companies in Trouble?

I have recently stumbled across a service on the Internet that may quite possibly bring cable and satellite companies to a very uncomfortable position. All of our life we've always seen big cable companies duke it out with the major satellite providers. Battling over the cheapest rates, or having 15 ESPN's, or why the other isn't worth that much money! Shit, why pay for either when you can view your favorite programs for free on the Internet? Unlike illegally downloading your music online, this stuff is free.

FREE!?

No Way! ? For Realz?

Yes! Fo Realz!

Meet Hulu, and I am not talking about the hoop!

Hulu allows you to access your favorite videos, movies, and television shows right from your web browser! As this gigantic spider web we call the internet grows, more and more of us humans are getting stuck and we like it! We love it! We check our bank accounts, order pizza, read the NY Times, purchase our music, and even find our fucking spouses!! Why not catch the last episode of The Real World in between those activities and not owe Mediacom/Charter/ DISH a dime! For Real.

The entertainment world is changing ever so quickly. With computers quickly becoming as common around the house as a toothbrush (wait...... I have 1 toothbrush and 3 computers) and wireless internet shooting at us from all directions how will the cable and satellite companies respond to all of their programs being so easily accessible on the net?

It is very important for us as students and young business professionals to follow things like this because the world is constantly changing and evolving and we need to learn how to respond. Something like this could quite possibly make or break an industry. This is not going to immediately destroy every cable or satellite company there is, but if they ignore this and hope it fades away they may be in for a rather unpleasant surprise. So here's a bit of advice to our beloved cable and satellite companies.... Go adjust your SWOT table, there is a new player on the court...

Enjoy
