We hear a lot about the cord-cutting trend, and there are plenty of debates as to its impact on pay television services. Here's an interview with a recent cord-cutter in Los Angeles, who happens to be my son.

Re: HDTV Expert - Interview with a Cord-Cutter – Pete Putman
True enough. I cut the cord about two years ago and have followed pretty much the same strategy. My major concern is HBO. HBO doesn't let any streaming happen until the DVD comes out. That means that season 2 of Game of Thrones is STILL unavailable unless you are already a cable subscriber. And I intend to pay for it, as I did season I (on Amazon). I had heard some talk about a class action suit against HBO for that bundling policy (you have to subscribe to cable in order to subscribe to HBO) but nothing recently.
