Most Broadband Users Still Pay For Television

Fortunately for pay-television providers, Kelling is not alone in what the industry calls “over-the-top” video consumption. According to the market research firm Parks Associates, 81 percent of U.S. households that have broadband internet also pay for cable or satellite-based television. And about half of broadband households pay for television plus one or more streaming services.

But hanging onto those all-of-the-above subscribers is becoming more difficult for small companies such as BendBroadband, a subsidiary of TDS Telecom, said Parks Associates.
