(based on US Census Bureau projections for 2010 household count).

Yes, it's enough to show that cord cutters exist. It also shows that (for now), they are a trivial fraction of US households. It's less than the typical margin of error on this kind of statistics work. This is not the start of the TV revolution, it's standard quarterly fluctuations.

Oh, and the very article that points that number out also has this to say:

SNL Kagan expects the industry to gain a total of 900,000 subscribers in the third and fourth quarter.
Internet video is very likely the future, but cable/satellite is definitely still the present.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/216k-is-trivial-24731007 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:02:50 EDT
