Charter Spectrum, Altice, Cox and others still struggle as well. Today and going forward, it does. In the years since, new competitors and new technology like many different pay TV competitors have sprung up. That is what I am talking about. Things are changing and quickly. Verizon is also in pay TV. In fact, even more competition is coming.
T-Mobile is one of the new providers. They are re-launching their own TVison service. So, as you can imagine, the television industry is changing and rapidly. Today, there are large and small competitors which make it easier than ever for customers who are unhappy to simply switch away. Something they do know.
They need to have a good relationship with their users or risk losing them. The writing is on the wall for traditional, old fashioned cable TV behemoths.
The days of cable TV are numbered. I expect to see other cable TV companies like Cox enter the wireless space as well. They did this several years ago and are still doing it today. The problem cable TV companies face is cannibalization. Traditional cable TV is changing. That means Comcast, Charter, Altice, Cox and all the others must cannibalize the old ways and move to the new ways, before their competitors can beat them to the punch.
I like the executives at Comcast Xfinity and want them to be successful. They are good people, and they are trying to become a leader of tomorrow. The problem is they are not willing to walk away from yesterday.
However, they must make it happen… they must cannibalize themselves and change. So far, they have not. They must dig in, recognize the world has changed and snap to it, before the change wave passes them by leaving them floating, but not growing. Comcast must cannibalize themselves rather than postponing this action to hang onto yesterday as long as they can.
Today, they are hanging onto a sinking ship instead of jumping off and starting over again, the way their competitors are already successfully doing. Comcast Xfinity needs to take better care of their customers, or they risk losing them to new technology and new competitors. The cable TV world is different today and it is changing. Today there is competition, and the playing field is only getting busier. In a competitive marketplace, in order to win, every successful CEO should remember to first take great care of your workers.
Then, they will take great care of your customers. Only then, will the investor be rewarded. Yesterday, when Comcast faced no competition, they never cared about the customer. They focused on the investor only. Today, as they face increasing competition, they need to improve that customer relationship.
That is difficult since they never did over the last many decades. The bottom line is every cable TV company needs to focus on both the customer and the investor or they will lose.
