Also, did the article address those of us with Satellite Tv systems.

We have had ours for over 5 years and will never return to cable even when it became broadband in our area.

We spend a lot of vacation time on the N California and SW Oregon coast. I go there to fly fish often. On each trip we see more Dish and Direct TV satellites dishs. Rentals that had terrible cable a few years ago now have Dish or Direct TV systems.

There are a lot of new developments in Eastern Contra Costra county. In the last few years the developers have wired their new homes to be able to accept cable or satellite. We have younger relatives in a large development where the developer suggested satellite tv over cable because the lack of problems due to construction interferring with cable.

Satellite TV may not be considered broadband ....fast speed receiving, very slow speed transmitting....
