Re: Is it Net Losses Across the Whole Industry? said by pnh102:Another poster mentioned that if you did subtraction there was a net loss of 125k subscribers from pay TV services in general.
IMO this is still a significant number. Definitely not as significant as 400k, but still significant. Traditional cable TV providers alone have around 57 million subs. See: »www.ncta.com/Statistics.aspx
Looking at channel subscription stats, the pay TV market is north of 100m subscriptions in the US. See: »www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/c-s···k_b24132
So say it really is 125k subs lost. Are you saying that an impact of less than 0.125% is really that significant? Even if it were 400k, we're still looking at less than one half of one percent. |

Even if it were 400k, we're still looking at less than one half of one percent. Consider this... The pay TV market is saturated and with prices going up, these companies are going to continue to slowly bleed customers away.
Perhaps there is a "sweet spot" where having fewer customers paying a lot of money is better than having many customers paying a little bit of money, but I see this more as a "balls to the wall" moment for the pay TV racket, there is nowhere to go but down from here.
