For now.  However, they've already started handing out a digital 
terminal that provides only what's carried on the analog channels and 
not any of the digital only channels.  Once enough customers have some 
form of digital, analog will be gone.  Cable companies want to get rid 
of analog as soon as possible for a couple of reasons.

1) It uses a lot of bandwidth for what's provided.
2) Lock out those who have been "borrowing" a cable connection.
