Many Americans are beginning to think of dropping cable television and its fat monthly bills and turning instead to the wide-open frontier of Internet video. Many have begun to cut their cable service and connected their flat-panel television to the Internet to watch sitcoms and other favorite shows. The biggest obstacle right now is that there is much programming out there that isn’t offered online.
“These are confusing times in the living room. The proliferation of Internet video has led to much talk of “cord-cutting” — a term that has come to mean canceling traditional pay TV and replacing it with programming from a grab bag of online sources.”
Younger people, though, are more intrigued by the possibility: respondents under the age of 45 were significantly more likely than older ones to say they had considered replacing their pay TV service. The poll was conducted Aug. 3-5 with 847 respondents and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Plenty of people say they have gotten rid of cable for good. They are mostly young adults who know their way around the Internet and have grown used to watching video on computers and other devices for some time now.
