Is It Time to “Cut the Card”?
What the Internet Did for TV, It Can Do for Payments
Recently my family made a momentous decision—we moved into a new house, hooked up our broadband Internet through a local ISP, and
didn’t call the cable company to set up service. A few years ago, “cutting the cord” from cable was a bold move by a minority of brave (or just frugal) pioneers in the frontier of digitally streamed content. As any early adopter can attest, it required a lot of patience, limited viewing choices, and often the purchase of a separate device to sit in between your TV and router. Today of course, streamed content looks just as good as cable, the viewing options have exploded, and with an HD antenna, we can even watch network TV for big televised events for free (is anyone old enough remember when TV was free over the airwaves?).
