Correct. It cannot handle the load today for a total switchover.
Your response is that the infrastructure is keeping up with demand.. This is
also correct.
So bottom line, the real issue is the rate of evolution to an all IPTV
infrastructure via the Internet. Here we strongly disagree, as you think cord
cutting is massive, despite the fact that I keep posting articles that confirm
that it is still minimal.

The main reason you feel this way is that you never shopped at the "TV stores"
where 95% of U.S. TV viewers shop. You were satisfied with what you could get
for free.

Because you argue out of both sides of your mouth. HDTV is a fait accompli, yet
you are not interested enough in that level of quality to pay for it.
Around the world, there are billions of people who cannot afford to pay for it.
