This IDC study presents results from IDC's 2009 "Consumer Internet Video
Survey." Included in this study are results pertaining to Internet video's
potential impact on traditional pay TV services in the United States. In
addition to survey results, this study provides IDC analysis on the pay TV
value proposition, the ways in which pay TV may be vulnerable going
forward, and recommendations on how to guard against those vulnerabilities.
"IDC survey data shows that few pay TV subscribers in the United States are
actually considering dropping pay TV in light of increased availability of
online video," says Greg Ireland, research manager for IDC's Consumer
Markets: Video program. "However, the low near- to midterm risk should not
overshadow pay TV vulnerabilities and discourage steps to enhance pay TV
service offerings."
