Default Re: Blockbuster files for bankruptcy

Actually, it isn't really thinking outside the box, it's thinking about what the next box will be. Comcast clearly has a vision of the next box, and wants to get involved.

Cable companies are the Google of their era, smart companies that got in the middle of something that they neither created or used. But in modern times, there are plenty of ways to get programming, and cable isn't gaining in the market. So they are working to define the next box, and to push you all into it.

Middlemen isn't just the name of a movie that appears to have taken e-pass down. It's also a very profitable business model.
