Do your remember life before cable TV? Yes believe it or not television was actually free to watch in your home. It was sort of like radio. Turn it on and you could listen for free. Yes as hard as that is to believe for some of you. You did not receive a monthly bill in the mail saying pay up or you cannot watch your TV.
In fact you when you drove around the neighborhood you would see antennae on almost each roof of every house. It was as natural as seeing a telephone pole on the street. The only cable TV that was in place was in places like the desert of the mountains where radio waves would not reach from the broadcast station.
They were out of range of the network broadcast radio waves. But then companies realized that if they could show others how to make money off TV reception then cable television would be the mainstay. They showed politicians that the government could make a lot of money from taxing the cable companies. That tax would be passed on the consumer of course.
And the cable companies met with potential broadcasters about creating content different from the network stations. And they sold them on the idea of sharing their revenue from memberships with the broadcasters so the broadcasters started putting together television programs they thought people would watch.
And today the industry is a multi billion dollar money making giant. The government makes huge money by taxing the company which simply passes this bill on to you.
All the government has to do is allow the cable company to broadcast in their area. It is simply an issue of property rights as they control the air space or at least the zoning of it.
The broadcasters are paid by the commercial time they sell. And they are paid by the cable company for the content they deliver to the cable company. And of course the cable company charges you for the broadcast as part of your membership fee. Which by the way the broadcasters want a larger chunk of the cable company profits. So expect your bill to go up because the cable company is happy with their current profits now.
They would rather you have less money than them have less money. So where would we be without all of these people making a whole lot of money from us all? We would be back to free TV. And yes the networks put on some pretty worthless stuff these days. That is until they sell these programs for syndication.
They put shows on to last three to five years and then sell them off to the broadcasters who sell them to the cable companies who sell them to us. There was a time when there was some good TV shows on the network channels. Back when people were not making so much money off the system that was created decades ago. But that time is gone. Oh hey have you paid your cable bill this month by the way?

When we speak of high voltage power electronics we primarily are of the devices or industries using devices that needs more than 1.7kV energy to function. A study conducted on the market of high voltage power electronics has shown a possibility of a boom in them in the near future. Leading companies have started showing interest in production of high voltage power electronics and have already started doing R&D to improve technologies. The total market value of high voltage power electronics now is $405 million. This is smaller than the present low voltage market, but the future may see a burst in the markets of high voltage.
Well, with Kyoto protocol and global warming it is a dream of every country and industry to bring down carbon emission and rely upon some other renewable energy source than the conventional ones. Many governments are encouraging companies and giving them incentives for driving them towards greener energies. These have such great effects that the IGBTs, thyristors and diodes etc are expected to function in 8 inch, wafer like platforms and an increase in use of silicon carbide, a comparatively better degradable material. As of now the companies producing SiC based components face very less competition, because of the lower production and the contracts that have been given for long time periods.
A steep increase is expected in case of high power devices and their modules from $390 million in 2009 to $570 million in 2015. This includes devices like IGBTs, thyristors and diodes. More than 65% of this would be contributed by the rail traction industry which is expected to raise its production including more inverter units per locomotive.
Another player which expects about a 11.1% increase in its turnover is the electricity transport and distribution business. HDVC transportation is expecting an exponential increase especially with ABBs input of a light HDVC architecture, the IGBTs.
When almost all industry was hit by recession of 2009, wind turbines were among those that stood against those testing times. They are growing at a very good pace and are the second strongest at present. Their market is also expecting a very good growth of 9% from 2010-2015.
Ships and vessels have shown varying trends in 2009. Military ships have shown great growth whereas the yatches for private use have declined tremendously. As a result the growth in ship and vessels market is meagre, but does give a promise of growth in future. The IGBT module market for ships and vessels is predicted reach $26 million in 2015.
Finally the ship and vessels industry, they had a very uneven growth in 2009 due to the slowdown in the sale of private passenger yatches. Their growth was only due to the military vessels. But a revival is expected in 2013 and then a boom from there on to reach $26 million by the year 2015.
Well, all these industries use high power electronic diodes or IGBTs etc and hence the market for these products has a good future, since their usage would keep increasing as and when new products with lighter versions or cost effectiveness are introduced. And of course our companies are heading their R&D in that way and soon would fill markets with handful of these.
