Internet taking piece of cable TV business
Quote:
Hyun Gu Lee, a 26-year-old software engineer from Belmont, discontinued his cable TV service after doing a little math and exploring his options.
He kept his $60 a month cable service to follow his favorite show, "Heroes," watch some NBA games and check out ESPN's "SportsCenter." But with "Heroes" available online at NBC.com and Hulu.com, and "SportsCenter" clips and highlights accessible at ESPN.com, Lee figured he was better off cutting the cable cord, even if he lost out on NBA games.
