More consumers are relying on broadband-only connections in their homes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re cutting the cord. Nielsen’s latest report reveals that there are now 5.1 million broadcast only/broadband homes in the United States, up 23% from last year. But the growth may be coming from homes that never had broadband in the first place rather than homes cutting back. For more details, check out this week’s New Media Minute.
