Use Of Broadband Service To Overtake TV Viewing

Tuesday, Nov 20, 2007 7:01 AM ET

WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS, more than 16 million U.S. households with televisions will use their broadband service more than they use their TV sets today, says technology consulting firm In-Stat. Up to 30% of viewers will drop subscription TV and use the Internet for watching TV, according to a recent survey by the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based In-Stat. More than 40% say they aren't getting enough international news and information from their current TV service, despite having hundreds of channels to choose from. Respondents had a broadband connection, a TV, and were 18 or older. --Mark Walsh
