DirecTV and the Explosion of Providers
Posted by admin on September 2, 2009
It seems like just about everyone is offering service for Direct TV these days. You can go down to just about any street corner in any mid-sized town and you will find someone offering to sign you up for service with DirecTV.
On the whole this is probably a good thing. Assuming that it continues to create a degree of competition with cable companies and other providers it may help to drive prices down, which, quite frankly can get out of hand very quickly. It is hardly a surprise that many people are switching to DirecTV when it can cost upwards of $150 a month to pay for the cable channels that you want.
Of course anybody providing any kind of television service, cable or satellite is going to have to continue to compete with the internet revolution. In all likelihood the wise companies will be those who provide internet access and then simple and effective applications for getting access to television and movie content – at a reasonable price. Those companies that continue to follow the old model of selling direct access to content separate from the internet will slowly face increased competition and may have problems in the future.
