Who are these people are that are canceling cable TV?

cable-mess-1.jpg?w=708 Comcast dropped a bomb shell on Wall Street and the cable industry the other day, when it reported that it lost 275,000 basic cable subscribers in the most recent quarter, leading us to conclude that the cord cutting phenomenon has finally begun in earnest . But who are these people are that are canceling cable? Theyre not the unemployed nobodies some would have you believe.

Contrary to Mr. Moffetts statement, the typical cord cutter is young, educated and employed, based on research from Strategy Analytics . The research firm surveyed 2,000 Americans, and found that 13 percent of them intended to cancel their cable subscriptions in the next 12 months.

But the profile of those who said they wanted to abandon cable is whats really interesting. (READ IT ALL)

Mr. Moffett said the image of the cord-cutter had been that of a cutting-edge technologist who preferred to bypass cable to watch programming on computers and on an ever-proliferating array of devices. The reality is its someone whos 40 years old and poor and settling for a dogs breakfast of Netflix and short-form video.

As it turns out, Moffett is wrong on all accounts.
