It goes round in circles.........just like installs themselves......MSO's will hire all contractors for a while to do sales, installs etc. But then slowly phase out the contractors and make everything in-house. Then slowly (usually about a 5 year cycle) they will phase out thier in-house staff doing these projects and bring contractors back into play. I've seen this happen time and time again.
Of course that's just my opinion.... I could be wrong
