Incorporating cable system operators, DBS, wireless cable, SMATV, C-Band and cable and pay-per-view networks

A market with many layers, the cable & satellite television industry's dominant offering of wired services has faced competition from direct broadcast satellite (DBS), satellite master antenna TV (SMATV), C-band satellite dishes and franchise overbuilders, including local telephone companies and wireless cable. DBS, the most formidable challenger to date, threatens to sway new subscribers away from the more traditional cable companies, especially in urban areas where DBS owners are from a higher economic demographic and can therefore afford more channel options, such as unlimited sports.
