LGI (Liberty Global International) is suffering from Kodak's problem. Kodak invented the digital camera in 1977 but didn't release it as it felt it would lose out on the printing and developing market which Kodak made a great income from. As a result, the Japanese came along and released digital cameras. Without good digital cameras in place, Kodak went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

What will happen now is people will just use their smart TVs, Rokus and Amazon fires and then forget Tivo and cut the cord.

I can see both sides of the argument but overall, I think LGI is thinking too short term.
