Broadband Usage Up, TV Usage Down

Posted by michael on from the only-25-hours-in-a-day dept.

jZnat writes "BBC Tech News reports that the increased usage of broadband internet in Europe is cutting into the viewing of television. This is mainly due to the decreased price of broadband in Europe and the usefulness of the internet. Is it possible that the usefulness of TV has decreased with the internet so expansive these days?"

    whether people are mostly visiting the major media companies' sites or are seeing more independent stuff

    I agree with this statement, and would speculate that it is more the latter, at least with the Slashdot crowd.

    However, even going to something like msnbc.com online is better than watching msnbc on tv for most people because you can read the stories you want when you want without sitting through all the garbage.
