Questions for discussion:
- Do you think the trend away from television subscription will grow?
- How would you recommend the cable-television industry respond to this threat?
- Why do you suppose consumers have shifted over to online services like Hulu and iTunes?
- How would you market these services as more competitors enter the marketplace?
