Research: Consumers like new sources but won’t “cut cord”
Interest in and consumption of online media continues to grow and remain strong. While pay-TV operators have not yet seen a significant impact on their subscriber bases, early indicators suggest online media will eventually compete with pay-TV. An ABI Research consumer survey revealed that about 32 per cent of those surveyed are interested in watching Internet video on their TV – nearly double the number who expressed the same interest in a similar 2008 survey.
However, while interest in connected devices is growing and consumers are clearly intrigued by alternative sources for video content, in 2010 only 13 per cent said they would consider cancelling their pay-TV services and receiving video content just from the Internet, via over-the-air/terrestrial transmission, and/or rentals.
Why the continued loyalty to pay-TV? According to ABI Research practice director Jason Blackwell, “The alternatives to pay-TV — online services from Netflix, Hulu and the like — are decentralised and can be complicated to negotiate.”
Analysis of the drivers and inhibitors of online media uptake suggests that consumer education and information will help foster consumer demand, especially among the less technically-savvy. User interfaces need to be simplified as far as possible, and paired with appropriate controllers or input devices. Finally, Wi-Fi – despite some lingering quality-of-service issues, remains the home media networking technology of choice for most consumers. Service providers will have to live with that preference.
