No fees, no wires, just TV on a tablet, startup promises

August 23, 2014

If Tablet TV can prove that the technology is reliable, easy to use and cheaper than subscription TV, it could lead to "a little bit of a renaissance in over-the-air television," said analyst Brett Sappington of the Dallas research firm Parks Associates.

...

The explosion in tablet use is part of the shift. Parks Associates said about 61 percent of all U.S. homes with high-speed Internet own at least one tablet, and found that the weekly video viewing time on tablets has increased from an average of a half hour in 2012 to 1.3 hours this year.
