The Price of Cable TV keeps rising and everyone seems willing to pay? An article by the New York Times recently debated the rising costs versus people’s wiliness to pay. Cable prices have risen 77 percent since 1996, roughly double the rate of inflation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this month.

Consumers just keep paying more for the rises in Cable TV? In 2007, average monthly revenue for each Cablevision subscriber was $75, up from $65 in 2005, according to SNL Kagan, a research company. At Time Warner it was $64, up from $54.50.

Of course maybe people see a computer as a computer and not a tv. Connecting the two isn’t quite so easy. The content on a Cable TV is pre chosen, just press power and content just streams out at you. Maybe what we really need, is a way to make shows easier to access on the web?

The future?
Hopefully we’ll be able to subscribe to channels just from the net like TBS and not pay for a whole package.
