I already cut them loose and only get Netflix and internet for my entertainment. Don't miss cable one bit. This could eventually bite the customer in the ass too. ESPN gets ~$4 per cable subscription (2007 numbers, likely higher now). So as more people dump the cable companies for Netflix and internet tv they are going to be loosing a lot of money. And when ESPN can't afford to pay the licensing fees to the MLB/NFL/etc they will raise their price on the XBOX and ESPN360.com viewers. And like cigarette addicts, people will pay the higher prices no matter how high they get. And I will feel no pity for them. Cable will lose big time.
