Cord-cutting fears overblown? More exits coming at Sony?

A new survey from PricewaterhouseCoopers attempts to throw cold water on the idea that pay-TV customers are itching to cut the cord to their pay-TV service in favor of newer online platforms. Many analysts and columnists have suggested that consumer trends indicate that people -- particularly young adults -- are eager to get away from traditional pay-TV providers in favor of cherry-picking content from other platforms such as Netflix, Hulu and iTunes. Not to question the fine folks at PWC, but on first glance this survey looks a little too optimistic. I'm sure there were surveys 15 years ago saying people wouldn't get rid of their landline phone in favor of just having a cellphone. - Joe Flint
