Studies show rapid uptick in dual SVOD subscriptions; another tech blog declares cable industry 'doomed'

Of course, with the pay TV industry suspected to have lost more than 1 million linear customers in the second quarter, there’s certainly substance to the notion that the collective infiltration by over-the-top insurgents is eroding pay TV.
