Parallel Worlds - Cable Companies and EV Transition

[ggies07]

So as I was reading this article, which talks about the business strategy the cable companies have with their services, and I saw a parallel between that and the EV transition.

Both cable companies and autodealers/manufactures are lost in the past and are not able to look and change into the future.

Tell me what you think.

There are different challenges that the Cable companies are facing with all the different fees that are associated with distribution. Buy yeah, dinosaurs.

I 'cut-the-cable' many years ago and have never looked back. Only now are the actual content creators catching up to the fact that their programming can actually make more money if distributed without the cable 'middleman' and it is typically better content. Netflix has convinced me to give them money each month as we can always find something to watch streaming with supplementing from a laptop connected HDMI to our big screen and a Bluetooth keyboard handheld remote. We used to pay about $120 a month and now we pay about $14 and legally consume the *same* programming.

^^^ This, although I only pay $9.xx / month.
