Television Content Costs, Bundle Discounts and Satellite Options
Dane Jasper explains the high costs of licensing television content from giants like Disney and ESPN, which makes it difficult for small ISPs to compete with cable incumbents. He notes that while Sonic encourages cord-cutting, they offer a Dish Network satellite bundle for the 10% of customers who still want a traditional TV experience. Jasper predicts that millennials will continue to drive the shift away from linear cable toward piecemeal streaming subscriptions.
