Cord cutters are a growing faction of consumers cancelling subscriptions to multichannel television services in response to competition from content available with streaming services like Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, etc. [1] These consumers often cite the basis of their decision as being frustrated with "paying for channels they don't watch." [2] The TV households that subscribe to a pay-TV service has dropped from 87% in 2011, and similar to 82% in 2005.
