Internet TV catching on
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.

Interestingly enough, the article offers no hard facts on just how many are transitioning to Internet TV, but it'll be fun to watch over the next few years how cable and satellite TV services will try to compete against Internet TV. |
