Initial Research: Telecoms, Cablecos Responsible For Half Of New Subscribers

In terms of the overall impact on the industry, Kerber noted that Parks Associates’ initial research shows that “almost half of the new subscribers are getting their services from the cable and telecom operators. Again, this is based on a small sample size, but those are really dramatic numbers and a significant move for the industry.”

While Parks Associates said that interactive services are having a positive impact on RMR, the research firm is taking a close look at whether that trend will continue over the next several years.
