Americans Cut Back On Cell Phones, Cable TV Before Cutting Web Access: Report
Americans Cut Back On Cell Phones, Cable TV Before Cutting Web Access: ReportIn these tough economic times, Americans are cutting back on their spending for cable television and even their cell phone service before canceling or cutting back on their use of broadband Internet access, according to a new report.
Only 9 percent of broadband Internet users say they have canceled or cut back on their Internet service in the last 12 months, according to the report from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project.
That's in contrast to the 22 percent that cut back or canceled their cable TV service during that same time period and 22 percent that have canceled or cut back on their cell phone service.
The findings are based on a survey of 2,253 Americans conducted in April.
"Broadband adoption appears to have been largely immune to the effects of the current economic recession," the report said. "In the April survey, more than twice as many respondents said they had cut back or canceled a cell phone plan or cable TV service than said the same about their Internet service." Full Story Here.
