obviously with Satilite systems being major players now for 10-15yrs old depending on your market they could only have the rapid growth for so long...but with our population as a whole beginning to flatten out I'm not sure demand is decreasing...but more rate of growth? I could be wrong but it seems to be a very real phenomenon with many markets such as oil consumption, cell phone purchases etc. Companies and there stocks are responding to the decrease in demand growth so media outlets are clammoring how the demand is halting or lowering when in fact the demand for those two things are still increasing just the rate of growth is slowing tremendously and my guess is that cable/dish "cords" is in the same boat. I think the panic will cease in the next 5 yrs and we'll just have a nice slower increase, not the mass decrease that some are saying. Just my theory.
