Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3085973, member: 1414"] The predictions from people in my industry are that this era will be more disruptive than the internet was in the 90's and early 2000's. 5G, Edge computing and a data driven economy. It won't happen overnight, and cable companies won't just pull the plug on their investments anymore than ATMs made bank tellers obsolete. The old will still be around for awhile. I'm not in media or telco, but those are my customers. ESPN has massive value, but they will monetize it differently. Cable gives you very little information about who is really watching, when they are watching etc. The ability to target ads on that streaming app is infinitely greater than via TV. Targeted ads are far more valuable. Ask Google about that. As I type this, there's an ad for Sling to my right. That's no accident. It's spooky, but it isn't a coincidence. [/QUOTE]
