According to the Chicago Tribune, consumers will soon be rid of their cable set top boxes and the multiple TV controls… finally a home with less clutter. What makes this announcement interesting to me, is not only that I'm passionate about this industry, but that I won’t be locked into renting a box from the cable provider. I will also have fewer technical issues with the cable card and more importantly, I will be able to enjoy "two-way" cable features such as pay-per-view movies.
And, believe it or not, for the first time, the cable companies, all six of them, (e.g. Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Charter, Cablevision and Brighthouse) and the leading consumer companies, like SONY, are actually playing nice… what a win-win story.
