ISP March to Offer vMVPDs Over Cable Expected, CCG Says

Expect more ISPs to join small cable operators in considering the switch from traditional cable TV service to streaming service offerings, CCG Consulting President Doug Dawson blogged Friday. Operational cost savings are a big motivator because ending traditional cable means far fewer customer service calls and truck rolls and the expenses of set-top boxes, he said. That would also mean cable operators can quit collecting local franchise fees assessed on cable service, and also avoid all the local obligations that come with a cable franchise, he said.
