U.S. television subscriptions crept up in the fourth quarter of 2010, a switch from the decline of the previous quarter.  Nobody is sure what the future holds for the television subscription business, especially now with shows viewable on the internet.  Many executives say there is little room for expansion in the U.S.  A major concern is also that younger people may never pay to a television service.  There has been a drop in subscriptions of college towns, proving that the younger generation is comfortable with using other sources.
