- Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapists. At a recent trade show, demonstrations of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BF received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period.

With HBO and Showtime offering their programming directly to consumers and some sports networks (e.g., NFL and MLB) considering the same, we are concerned that we might lose subscribers.

If more networks sell directly to consumers, how will this affect the demand for our cable television services? Also, will it impact the decision made by other networks.
