Cable television is dying a slow death thanks to Netflix

Cable television is dying and there aren’t very many people who are going to mourn its passing. In fact, most of us are probably laughing as it writhes on the ground while Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus, and Netflix continue to beat the living crap out of it. That metaphor isn’t too far from the truth either. According to Nielsen, more than 40% of all American households with broadband internet and/or television use subscription streaming services like Netflix, a number which has been rapidly increasing.
