The biggest thing that jumped out at me from the article is that the Verizon and AT&T versions of cable aren't counted. So people who are paying for those services are considered cord cutters. I'm guessing that between that shift and the second quarter seasonal drops mentioned in the article (departing college students cutting off service, more summer distractions), that covers almost all of the people who dropped cable or satellite. -- TV or Not TV ....
