Sorry I missed a comma. What meant was that they’ll be getting OUT of the cable business and they’re primary money will be ISPs. Like I said, they all started diversifying in the late 90s because they understood the middleman business sucks.

No, cloud companies are not just service bureaus. There’s a lot more to it.

Here’s your problem. You keep thinking serious changes to the business model is “same concept new technology”. It isn’t. There are MASSIVE differences between the mainframe terminal model, and the client server model, and the thin client mode, and the cloud model.

And streaming is here to stay.

As I’ve repeated multiple times, the concept of cloud computing vs service bureaus is the exact same concept using modern technologies, that is absolutely true.

It’s the same idea of Mainframe and dumb terminals versus client/server thin clients with modern technology.
