Considering cancelling cable at Students Apartments

We are upgrading our internet to a fiber connection, and have found that most of our young tenants are watching their television through streaming internet.  We are considering cancelling our Cable TV (we pay for that for all units, and it's not promised in the lease).
I don't believe that we need to offer cable anymore to keep our building full.

Thoughts?

Is it possible to phase it out as tenants vacate each unit? If not, you are going to cancel it sooner than later, right? If so, I'd just rip the bandaid off now. Maybe give tenants 30 days notice so you aren't on the defensive when their service stops working.
