We seem to think it's the latter.
I buttonholed BrightHouse Tampa Bay when a client recently got boxes for
the first time (new HD set), and they said explicitly that no, they were
*not* dropping their analog tier anytime in the near future. (We're too
big a metro; the percentage of people with cable who can't afford a box
and digital is too high).
