Posted on by Leave a comment

In its new Rural America and Technology study, NPD notes that 31% of U.S. households don’t have broadband (25Mbps downloads and up) internet connections. The number works out to roughly 100 million per the report. That figure, unsurprisingly, is highly concentrated in rural areas — less than one-fifth of that population has a broadband connection. – Brian Heater, TechCrunch » https://tcrn.ch/2Y5Fe96

Americans Want to Pay $21 for All Their Streaming Services Combined, Poll Finds

Posted on by Leave a comment

Many Americans who stream media pay for three services at a collective $37 per month, though the optimum price for wooing far more households to multiple streamers is a combined $21 a month, a new Hollywood Reporter/Morning Consult poll finds. The acceptable range consumers would like to pay for all their streaming offerings is $17 to $27. (The poll uses the Van Westendorp model, which seeks to locate the sweet spot in pricing between what consumers deem “too good to be true” and “too expensive.”) – Paul Bond, The Hollywood Reporter » https://ift.tt/2y6pHGN
