Cable TV is not doomed. Somehow, some way, the tyrannies that control the programming will be in charge twenty years hence. We would remind people, for instance, that PEOPLE WARNER traces its antecedents almost to the turn of the last century, and the telco business dates back from before then. Inevitably it becomes a question of how much we'll pay, which will be too much if we don't demand the same virtually free access to video we now have to news and music.
And no, lots of little people with cameras will not mean high-quality shows. It will just mean YouTube in hi-def.
