Cord cutting -- the practice of ditching traditional pay TV (i.e. cable, fiber and satellite) in favor of getting programming from lower cost and free sources -- has been getting a fair bit of attention of late. For example, we talked about some of the alternatives in this post. That said, the popularity of this trend is the subject of some debate, and often conflicting research. A recent report by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) that downplays the cord-cutting phenomenon is one example of that. However, another take-away from the CEA's research has touched off a bit of a firestorm in some quarters. Quoting the findings, CEA president and CEO Gary Shapiro tells Multichannel News that while free, over-the-air (OTA) TV was once essential, "using huge swaths of wireless spectrum to deliver TV to homes no longer makes economic sense."
