Top Ten Questions for the Cable Industry

With the National Cable & Telecommunications Show kicking off today (I’m getting a late start and will head there tonight), Pali Research analyst Richard Greenfield has prepared a very good list of ten questions facing the cable industry. (Richard will appear on a panel of financial analysts at the show.)

1 Why Go Thru With Adelphia? Could Comcast Get Out?

2 Why Not Accelerate the All-Digital Push? Be More Offensive.

3 Why Is Cable Industry Marketing So Poor?

4 Voice Should Be Included with Data Do Not Lose Data Subs to the Competition.

5 Are Wireless Joint Ventures Enough For Tomorrow's Customer?

6 What is the Risk of an IP-Delivered National Cable System?

7 Another Round of Set-top Boxes with DVD Burners?

8 Does Network-Based DVR Technology Make Sense, Even if Legal?

9 Why Are Regulators Coming Down So Hard on Cable?

10 Are Large Cable Operators Limiting the Creation of New Programming?
