Doubtful. Cable companies also provide internet access and TV programming is just another form of data coming through the internet access pipe. There is fundamentally no difference between a TV show you watch "on cable" and a Netflix show - they are just packets of data coming down the pipe. You aren't going to stream anything without internet access. You will probably continue to see an evolution in the services provided by cable companies. I suspect more choices instead of packages of 250 channels. Cable companies provide the infrastructure as well as programming services. I cut the cord about 7 years ago but I am totally dependent on a "cable" company for internet access so I can stream programming from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.

Streaming is the next huge change coming to TV . The Cable and Dish companies will be dinosaurs within 5 years --- and it couldn`t happen to a more deserving industry .
