That’s a real concern, research firm Parks Associates said in January based on a survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households. It found that 17% might subscribe to an HBO streaming service — with 91% of them current pay TV subscribers. The kicker: About half, the firm said, “would cancel their pay-tv service after subscribing” to the HBO service.
