Pay-TV headed for major crash against OTT

Despite the fact that US incumbent pay-TV operators enjoyed a small net subscriber gain in Q1 2014, the reality is that today's pay-TV subscribers are just as inclined to cancel their service as they have been since 2011.

This, according to research from TDG, represents a reversal of recent quarterly trends and 15% of adult broadband users that subscribe to a legacy cable, satellite or telco pay-TV service are to varying degrees likely to cancel their service in the next six months. This is virtually unchanged during the last four years, despite the growing use of alternate video sources and the increasing cost of legacy pay-TV services.http://www.rapidtvnews.com/2014060633986/pay-tv-headed-for-major-crash-against-ott-rocks.html
