These kids won't be calling the phone company to set up their home phone. They want their cell phone, Internet/wifi, and if it can be streamed great if it's not they'll find something that is streamed to watch.
The demographic for TV is getting older cause, nobody new is coming along to replace them. I don't know what the answer is ... but unless they effectively kill the internet the end days of cable tv are rappidly approaching.

Why do you assume that kids are going to behave the same way as adults as they did as kids? I agree, times are constantly changing, however I certainly don't do things now that I did as a 16 year old.
Cable, in the way we know it may disappear, but it will just be available online. If you have Telus Optic it already is.
