Hulu also about to have a premium paid tier. So the few cutters should enjoy the pricing anomalies while they last.

They are likely the early adopters of technology, the first group to regularly consume online video and watch movies on their computers. This is the same group that was the early adopter of DVD’s, back when the market was relatively small in the 1999-2000 period. It think it is going to take at least a few years before people begin cutting their cords in masses, and that of course assumes that the cable companies do nothing to counter the threat. That is absolutely not the case, as the cable companies are well aware of the threat and are taking strategic action now. I think cord cutting will continue to ramp, but the cable companies will surely prevent it from reaching mainstream levels.

If your looking to cut the cord then your not only going to watch online but also rent dvd’s. You need something to fill the void when you hit that cancel button!!
