They know that "cable tv" as we currently know it is on its way out. We still have it, but I think we crossed the threshold to watching more than half of our "tv" via iTunes, and we recently discussed ditching probably 75% of our current cable subscriptions.

They know this. They're about to lose their original, primary, revenue stream. They need to figure out how to go beyond charging people $40/month for internet, and killing net neutrality is a big step in the right direction.
