Alternative platforms to eclipse cable and satellite

Americans are eschewing cable and satellite service in favour of a variety of ‘Over The Top’ video options according to a new survey that shows nearly half of consumers already using streaming video service such as Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Hulu. The Zogby Analytics survey commissioned by CALinnovates, a technology advocacy coalition that serves as a bridge between thriving technology communities and policymakers in Sacramento and Washington, found that ‘cord cutter’ platform adoption is already widespread, and that fewer than half of Americans believe that cable and satellite TV service as we know it will remain widespread in 2020. According to the survey, cord cutting is growing as new services emerge and wireless broadband enables consumers to watch what, where and when they want. http://advanced-television.com/2015/07/17/survey-alternative-platforms-to-eclipse-cable-and-satellite/ http://www.digitaltveurope.net/399311/youtube-watch-time-up-60-as-reach-passes-cable-tv/
