While the vast majority of U.S. residents own televisions and watch them regularly, more and more people are opting to toss their cable plans and use other devices for entertainment, according to cnet.com.
A new report by Nielsen finds that those people who have
elected to go "Zero TV" have more than doubled since 2007. Currently,
more than 5 million people don't have broadcast television in their home, while
in 2007 just 2 million didn't.
Despite these numbers sounding big, cord-cutters are still
just 5 percent of the U.S. population. And, as Nielsen wrote in a blog post
today, "Zero TV doesn't mean zero video." While some people no longer
watch TV on television sets, they are still streaming on computers, tablets,
and smartphones. Also, many of these users own TVs but instead of having cable
or satellite plans, they just watch DVDs or play games.
