Thanks to changes and improvement with the Internet many Americans are changing the way in which they are watching television these days according to a recent report.
Over recent years Americans have seen many advancements and improvements when it comes to their broadband services. According to one recent report these improvements have resulted in changes to the way in which many Americans watch their favourite TV shows and movies, with more and more people watching them online via their PCs or their Internet enabled devices.
More and more people are now getting their hands on devices that will allow them to stream and watch content without the need to have their cable television service or their TV set, and some officials believe that this could be the year when there is a sharp rise in the number of people watching their favourite shows and movies in this way.
There are concerns that this growing trend could result in a greater number of people deciding to ditch their cable television service, which could have a severe negative impact on cable television providers.
Shawn Strickland, Verizon’s vice president for consumer strategy and planning, said: “The pace of change here has been mind-blowing. We’ve been looking at this issue for the better part of a year, and our perspective has pretty much done a 180″ to a belief now that pay-TV “cord cutting” — industry jargon for consumers who drop their cable or satellite TV service — “will happen.”
