Cord-cutting competition heating up

October 13, 2015

The Star Online

According to Parks Associates, one in 10 broadband homes have already cut the cord and of that number 25% have cancelled their pay TV subscription over the past 12 months in favor of services delivered via the Internet.

A further 7% have trimmed their cord; cutting back the scale of their existing subscriptions and filling the void form other sources.

"As viewing evolves, companies want to be sure that they are in a position to react to trends and adequately capture revenues. The massive influx of new OTT video services in 2015 is one example of video market players making moves to prepare for the new future of video entertainment," said Brett Sappington, director of research, Parks Associates.
